When the gas volume is large and the content of heavy carbon components is high, mixed hydrocarbon recovery or light hydrocarbon recovery can be selected. After mixed hydrocarbon recovery, the heavy carbon components are no longer separated, resulting in relatively low costs. Users can also choose to further process and separate the recovered heavy carbon components (mixed hydrocarbons) into light hydrocarbons based on investment efficiency, thereby further increasing the recovery value.

Mixed hydrocarbon recovery compressor/Light hydrocarbon recovery compressor
Product Description:
Detailed description
Our company’s mixed hydrocarbon and light hydrocarbon equipment is specifically designed for this situation. The equipment is basically divided into four units: a gas purification unit, a refrigeration unit, a light hydrocarbon production unit, and a light hydrocarbon recovery unit. The specific process involves pressurizing and throttling the medium for pre-cooling, followed by refrigerant circulation cooling to a suitable temperature. Under a certain pressure, the C2 and lower components in the gas condense into liquid and are recovered. This process is currently the most mature heavy carbon component recovery technology. With the increasing international energy shortage, the value of heavy carbon component recovery is rising.
Technical features:
1. The system utilizes the globally renowned process simulation software ASPEN for operational simulation calculations to obtain optimized operating parameters;
2. The system boasts low energy consumption and high efficiency. Reasonable cooling capacity, optimal liquefaction pressure, and temperature are calculated based on different components;
3. The system offers high safety and a more complete process flow. Currently, most systems do not perform ethane removal treatment on the cryogenic liquid phase, leading to increased pressure in the mixed hydrocarbon storage tank as the ambient temperature rises, posing a safety hazard;

What are the application scenarios of mixed hydrocarbon recovery compressors / light hydrocarbon recovery compressors?
Natural Gas Gathering & Processing Stations Recover light hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, butane) from raw natural gas to avoid waste and increase added value of gas resources. Oilfield Associated Gas Recovery Compress and recover associated gas produced during crude oil extraction; concentrate mixed light hydrocarbons for refined processing. Petrochemical Refineries Used in catalytic cracking, hydrogenation and distillation units to recover light hydrocarbon tail gas, recycle raw materials and reduce emissions. Coal Chemical Industry Recover light hydrocarbon components from coal-to-gas, coal-to-liquid tail gas for secondary utilization. LNG & CNG Plants Pretreat natural gas, separate and compress light hydrocarbons before liquefaction/pressurization to optimize product purity. Landfill & Biogas Projects Concentrate trace light hydrocarbon components in biogas, improve gas utilization efficiency. Gas Storage & Peak Shaving Stations Boost pressure for hydrocarbon mixed gas to realize safe storage and peak gas supply. -
What is the Technical Working Principle?
Mixed hydrocarbon recovery compressors are positive-displacement reciprocating or screw compressors designed to compress low-pressure mixed hydrocarbon gas streams (containing methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, etc.) to a target high pressure, enabling subsequent separation, liquefaction and recovery of light hydrocarbon components.
