NITECH PROJECT PROFILE, SEMINOLE, TX

 

Project Description

The Seminole NRU uses BCCK’s Nitech™ process technology to successfully process commercially viable volumes of high nitrogen natural gas from the Yates formation. The BCCK turnkey project included the design of a 5 MMSCFD nitrogen rejection unit, procurement and installation of the inlet gas dehydration system, and installation of leased compression. The system required only three major pieces of equipment:

  • Nitrogen Rejection Unit
  • Inlet Gas Compressor
  • Sales Gas Compressor

 

The plant features a small footprint and state-of-the-art automation that minimizes operator involvement by allowing optimization and troubleshooting from BCCK’s Midland office.

 

The successful startup and operation of the Seminole NRU represents a significant breakthrough for nitrogen rejection technology and its application to Yates gas. Prior to the development of the Nitech process, removing nitrogen from Yates gas had proven to be a challenging engineering endeavor.  Economical removal of nitrogen from area leases using the Nitech process is now technically possible as well as profitable.
