Oil and Gas Conditioning and Processing
Glycols are extensively used in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the production of natural gas. Glycols are used for gas dehydration, hydrate prevention, cooling of large stationary gas compression engines, natural gas line heaters, LNG vaporizers, wellhead heaters, combustion air pre-heaters and hydraulic fluids used in subsea control systems. Restoring the original purity economically extends the useful life of these glycol base fluids.
Both EET's patented and patents pending High Efficiency Electrodialysis (HEED®) and patended and patents pending High Efficiency Electro-Pressure Membrane (HEEPM™) technologies are ideal for reclaiming these glycol solutions, depending on contaminant levels. Both of these leading edge desalting technologies allow economical removal of inorganic salts, allowing high glycol recoveries and are a viable alternative to expensive vacuum distillation or ion exchange processes. HEED® or HEEPM™ may be easily integrated into the process unit circuit for continuous removal of impurities or desalting slipstreams off line.
