OilGas Condensate Stabilization Mar4

Oil and Gas: Application Focus
Condensate Ensure your stabilization reliably meets your

Stabilization /Fractionation daily production quotas and environmental
protection needs.
Process Description
Natural gas condensate stabilization processes reduce the
vapor pressure of the liquid hydrocarbon condensate to a
value ensuring safety during transportation and storage,
and perform an important separation of lighter from heavier
ends. The natural gas condensate is either stabilized to
remove C1-C4 hydrocarbons, or is fractionated in stages
sequentially removing one or more of ethane (C2), propane
(C3) and butane (C4). The stabilized LPG/gasoline product
has had the more volatile ‘light ends’ stripped out, making
it less susceptible to spark ignition. The separated products
are also more valuable as petrochemical feedstocks.
Gas Plant Needs

• Achieve or exceed condensate and lighter products • Maintain process safety
production quotas via reliable stabilization/fractionation • Provide stable operation, consistent on-spec sales
and separation of natural gas condensate condensate
• Maintain process reliability for consistency of production
and minimization of downtime, reduced maintenance
Production Challenge / Pall Solution

Challenge Solution
Increased downtime and Improve your stabilizer productivity and reliability with effective liquid water and solid
maintenance, process upsets removal upstream of the stabilizer to protect against deposits and corrosion.

Experience Matters
Don’t take our word for it. Just ask the thousands of oil and gas engineers around the world why Pall is their
supplier of choice for filtration and separations solutions. Let them tell you how our extended filter life and
simple maintenance protocols save them time that can be spent on value-add process improvements. Ask
them about the reliability and consistent output from the Pall systems installed in their critical processes.
You don’t want to spend time worrying about your filters and coalescers, and we don’t want you to either.
Contact Pall today and let us put our 50+ years of experience to work for you.
