PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An existing facility with NGL and Condensate Extraction, the Nitech™ NRU is located in Paden, OK, east of Oklahoma City. For this particular facility, condensate, NGL, Carbon Dioxide and water are removed upstream of the NRU. In November, 2006, BCCK designed and constructed a Nitech™ NRU to remove nitrogen from a slip stream of facility gas. Implementing BCCK’s Nitech™ NRU allowed the facility to increase its gas processing capacity by more than 50% due to the blending of NRU low nitrogen gas with higher nitrogen inlet gas. Additional equipment purchased and installed included an amine unit, flare, regeneration system and associated compression. BCCK assisted ScissorTail with the specification of the amine unit and compressors. The fabrication of the NRU cold boxes was completed by NG Resources, a sister company to BCCK Engineering, Inc. NG’s nearby location conveniently enabled the client to visit with design engineers and to monitor the cold box fabrication through periodic one-day trips. The NRU was installed at the Paden facility by a third party construction company. BCCK provided guidelines for the installation of the NRU. The NRU cold boxes were delivered to the site in early February 2008. The facility was deemed operational on May 1, 2008.
