PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Gaines County NRU 2 is the second Yates Gas
processing facility that uses BCCK’s Nitech™ technology
to successfully process commercially viable volumes
of high nitrogen natural gas. The turnkey project
included a 15 MMSCFD nitrogen rejection unit and
engineering related to installation of NRU equipment
and leased compression. The system included the
following major equipment:
- Nitech™ Nitrogen Rejection Unit with Integrated NGL Extraction
- Mole Sieve Dehydration
- Propane Refrigeration System
- NGL Stabilization
The plant features a small footprint and state-of-the-art
automation that minimizes operator involvement
and allows optimization and troubleshooting from
BCCK’s headquarters.
The successful startup and operation of this Gaines
County Nitech™ NRU represents a significant
breakthrough for nitrogen rejection technology and
its application to Yates gas. Prior to the
development of the Nitech™ processes,
removing nitrogen from Yates gas had
proven to be a challenging engineering
endeavor. Economical removal of nitrogen
from area leases using the Nitech™
process has proven to be technically
achievable as well as profitable.
