the terminal.
In this section dust and solid particles are removed from the
natural gas by means of three separators.
Expansion section:
dehydration section:
The natural gas contains water, and after its contact with the MEA
solution it becomes saturated with water. An injection of glycol (DEG) in
evaporators of propane permits to eliminate it.
drying section: It is the last treatment section, the gas passes through
four parallel dryers (a fifth one is in regeneration), and the quantity of
water is reduced to I ppm by means of molecular sieves.
Liauefaction unit (u21/22/23):
The treated natural gas arrives to the liquefaction unit at a pressure of 40
bars and a temperature of-lc. the liquefaction is obtained by the important
reducing of temperature by thermal heat exchange: first with propane (fromlc to -35c) then with ethylene (from -35c to -97c), and finally with
methane (from -97c to -151c), using a flash phenomena the temperature
goes down to -161c.
The terminal(u50):
It represents the storage facilities, it consists of:
Three aerial tanks with a capacity of 11000m3 each.
Loading arms.
INTRODUCTION
The natural gas enters the absorber C1201A/B at the bottom at pressure of
42bar and temperature of 35C approximately equal to the MEA temperature to
avoid the problem of foaming, after that the NG is saturated with water by using
a washing water tray to recover the quantity of MEA leaving with NG.
In the same time the lean MEA solution from the tank T1201 enters to the
absorber of MEA from the top with a pressure greater than 42 bar, it flows
downward in counter current with the NG, and CO2 is removed by the
absorption of the MEA. The amount of CO2 in the NG purified should not be
more than 90 ppm with a pressure of about 40 bar and a temperature of about
42 C due to the exothermal reaction with the MEA.
The rich MEA (reach in CO2) leaves from the bottom of the absorber at
temperature of 42C and pressure of 40 bar and passes through the level
control valve where its pressure is reduced to the 5,6 bar than it passes
through the MEA flush drum B1201A/B to separate the gas entrained with the
rich MEA.
The rich MEA passes through the filter S1201 to eliminate the
impurities than it passes through the MEA-MEA inter exchanger E1204 in tube
side, finally it goes to the MEA regenerator
