STOCK PLANT DESIGN PARAMETERS
• 15mmscfd, 0.68 sg Gas @ 0 deg F LTS Temp & 500 psig , 900 psig & 1100psig
• Mechanical design for 1415 psig @ 15 Deg F High Side, 350 psig @ Low side
• 15-20 psi pressure drop
• 95 deg Ambient with 110 deg F condensing
• Turn-up:
Gas Side: 8mmscfd
Liquid side 50% depending upon sizing and liquids flow
• Turn-up:
17mmscfd < Need applications to check, Pressure drops
& Velocities could be excessive
• Plant is designed to utilize refrigeration grade propane
2 % Ethane
97 % Propane
0.5 % n-butane
0.5 % i-butane

Flash (JT) Valve
reciprocating compressor
(-9 Ratios)
• Colder temperatures possible screw / with two stage units
• -40 deg F bath temperatures with screw compressors (15 + Ratios)
• Lower temperatures possible with alternate refrigerant / materials of
construction

LIQUIDS PROCESSING
Liquids Processing:
• EFX standard design has
separate reboiler
• Subcooler is included on
15mmscfd plant and smaller
• Gas-liquids exchanger on larger facilities
Optional Configurations:
• Separate direct Fired Heater (TEG or Hot Oil) for increased duties and
temperatures
• Kettle Style Reboilers, Larger Liquid Inventory
16
LIQUIDS PROCESSING
Column Design
• Column Internals (random packing typical)
• Liquid Feed midway up column with increase in Diameter
• 250 psig Operating pressure
• Lower pressures = Higher overhead rates with increased
compression HP
• Turndown a key consideration.
An oversized column is
not necessarily the best design!
• EFX STD column designed
12” bottoms and Flexible top diameters
• Top of column designed once process
conditions are known.
Can impact immediate delivery.

AIR COOLED CONDENSERS
• Air-Cooled condensers use air to remove heat from the refrigerant vapor
• The refrigerant vapor flows through finned tubes while the cooling air is
circulated around the outside of the tubes
• The air is circulated by fans or blowers
• 8.3C-11.1C (15F-20F) approach temperature
