NATURAL GAS PROCESSING

DPCU
GLOSSARY

• acid gas:
• The acidic constituents of natural gas, H2S, CO2, mercaptans (RSH),
CS2, and COS.
• dew point
• The temperature and pressure at which a gas mixture begins
condensing to form a liquid phase;
• for a fixed composition, the point is reached by lowering the
temperature or increasing the pressure except when the mixture
exhibits retrograde condensation.
GLOSSARY

• ethane, propane, butanes, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and natural gasoline:
• Natural gas liquid products for which there are various purity grades;
• they are defined by a combination of maximum and minimum compositions, vapor pressures,
and boiling points.
• gas conditioning:
• The process of removal of contaminants, usually acid gases, nitrogen, and water, from natural
gas.
• gas dehydration:
• The process of removal of water from natural gas to achieve a low dew point that will avoid
condensation of water during further processing, transportation, and use.
GLOSSARY
GLOSSARY
GLOSSARY

• gas sweetening/treating:
• The process of removal of acid gas components from natural gas.
• gas to liquids (GTL):
• Processes for the chemical conversion of methane to other chemicals
and fuels that are predominantly liquids;
• most frequently refers to Fisher–Tropsch-type processes that
preferably produce hydrocarbons from C5 to C30.
GLOSSARY

• liquefied petroleum gas (LPG):

• A natural gas liquid product composed primarily of a mixture of
propane and butanes.
• natural gas liquids (NGL):
• The higher hydrocarbons separated from natural gas that are usually
produced and stored as liquids under pressure at ambient
temperature.
GLOSSARY

• natural gasoline:
• A natural gas liquid product that consists primarily of pentanes and
higher alkane hydrocarbons (C5+ );
• it is a liquid at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure and has
a low octane number.
GLOSSARY

• retrograde condensation:
• The phenomenon where a hydrocarbon gas mixture of a particular
composition will pass through the dew point and begin condensation
of a liquid phase when the pressure is lowered.
• sour gas:
• Natural gas that has at least a small percentage of acid gases,
specifically sulfur-containing components.
