Recovers Valuable Hydrocarbons Reduces Stock Tank Emissions WELL SITE

Overview
Stabilization of Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) or Condensate
refers to the flashing of volatile light ends from raw liquids,
utilizing controlled conditions to produce a more suitable
product for market. Camerons well site condensate
stabilization units are designed to:
Increase hydrocarbon recovery by lowering the vapor
pressure of raw condensate to minimize evaporation
losses when stored or transported in atmospheric vessels
Reduce stock tank emissions
Remove acidic constituents such as CO2 and H2S
Produce a suitable product for transport, blending or a
specific market
Cameron has designed an optional well site NGL recovery
unit to separate NGL fractions to produce Y-grade NGLs or
other suitable hydrocarbon liquid products.
Cameron has also developed a portfolio of NGL stabilization
units for midstream gathering and processing facilities.
These units are designed for larger flow volumes, specifically
for capturing NGL fractions and converting them to a
Y-grade NGL product.
 How Does it Work?
Condensate is brought into the system from the inlet
separator and preheated in the stabilizer feed/bottoms
exchanger before entering the top of the contactor tower.
The contactor tower can be either a tray or packed column.
Condensate Stabilizer
Within the contactor, the liquid is heated by the hot
vapors rising from the reboiler as it flows downward across
the trays or packing. The stabilized liquid is collected in
the bottom of the contactor and exits through the feed/
bottoms exchanger to pipelines or storage facilities. The
vapor exits the top of the contactor to either a downstream
flare, vapor residue pipeline or through the optional air
cooler and NGL recovery skid for discharge directly to a
pressurized storage vessel.
