Filtration solutions for the oil and gas industry (Pt2) – Solvent filtration of amine sweetening & glycol dehydration systems

  • by

The situation Natural gas from gas wells are full of by-products that affects its safety and usability. Two such products are water and acid gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Gas processing plants often use solvents such as amine and glycol to absorb these contaminants, thus removing it from the gas stream. A solvent loop is set up, where the solvent first absorbs these by-products in… Read More »Filtration solutions for the oil and gas industry (Pt2) – Solvent filtration of amine sweetening & glycol dehydration systems

Filtration solutions for steam applications

  • by

The situation Steam is used in industries such as food and beverage, power and healthcare to sterilise equipment and production lines, to cook food, and to run turbines and heat exchangers. While steam is generally free of bacterial contamination, they can pick up debris, corrosion products and other particles from piping and other equipment upstream. Failure to remove these particles can cause the following issues: Reduced performance of downstream valves,… Read More »Filtration solutions for steam applications

Filtration solutions for the oil and gas industry (Pt1) – Completion/workover fluid filtration

  • by

The oil and gas industry involves numerous filtration processes each with different operating conditions. One example is completion and workover fluid filtration. These fluids are typically weighted brines, and is to be kept as clean as possible to reduce the risk of formation damage. Corrosion products, debris from surface and wellbore tanks, and drilling mud and drill cuttings can contaminate the well reducing near-wellbore permeability and the well’s productivity. The… Read More »Filtration solutions for the oil and gas industry (Pt1) – Completion/workover fluid filtration
