Gas Processing Methods

The document describes the key processing methods used in natural gas processing plants. Raw natural gas from gas wells first has condensate and water removed. It then undergoes acid gas removal to remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide using various processes like amine treating. The acid gas is processed in a sulfur recovery unit using the Claus process to produce elemental sulfur. Additional treatment steps include tail gas treating, dehydration, mercury removal, nitrogen rejection, natural gas liquid recovery, and sweetening before the sales quality natural gas is sent to pipelines. The overall process flow and unit operations in a typical natural gas processing plant are outlined.
