Composition first.

Insight

In low-pressure condensate recovery, the first question is what is in the gas.

Insight · Enhanced LP-CRS™

The richer the gas, the more liquid to recover.

For low-pressure gas heading to flare, the screening question is composition. The C3+ content is the single biggest lever: lean gas is not a candidate, whatever the gas rate.

Lean gas is not a candidate, whatever the gas rate.

On the platform, the Enhanced LP-CRS™ is a bolt-on to the low-pressure tail. It takes the gas before the existing pressure valve, recovers condensate and NGL, sends the remaining lean gas back to the flare header and the condensate to the crude. The flare stays lit.

The recovered liquid also needs a destination (crude spiking, a stabiliser or storage), and the technology recovers; it does not treat CO₂ or H₂S.

To screen a stream, send the gas composition through C7+, the normal, minimum and maximum rate, the inlet pressure and temperature, the current gas destination and the condensate return route.
