BCCK Delivers Innovative Nitrogen Rejection Technology with NiTech® Style IV Nitrogen Rejection Unit in West Texas

BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication and field construction services, has expanded its footprint in the Permian Basin with its NiTech® Style IV dual column nitrogen rejection unit (NRU) project.

Utilizing BCCK’s advanced NiTech® NRU, the new project will increase the company’s reach in West Texas. The 160 MMSCFD NiTech® Style IV NRU, the company’s latest design, features a modular skidded design that can adjust to compositional or flow capacity changes. The Style IV delivers high recoveries and reduces overall emissions.

As a complete engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) provider, BCCK will supply major operators with its highly efficient, reliable design using minimal equipment.

Greg Hall, executive vice president, BCCK, said, “BCCK’s roots run deep in West Texas, and we are excited to continue our history of bringing innovative technology with over 1.25 billion cubic feet (BCF) of nitrogen rejection installed and upcoming in the Permian Basin.”

BCCK has been delivering nitrogen rejection solutions since installing its first NiTech® NRU in 1994. Since then, the NiTech® NRU process has been widely used across the natural gas industry to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases

Hall said, “BCCK was chosen for this esteemed project because of our vast experience and superior nitrogen rejection technology. We are proud to partner with our valued customers to bring an efficient and environmentally friendly design to lower greenhouse emissions.”

BCCK Utilizes Latest Nitrogen Rejection Technology with New Facility in West Texas

BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication and field construction services, has been selected to design and fabricate a NiTech® nitrogen rejection unit (NRU) facility in the Permian Basin.

The grassroots facility will utilize BCCK’s premier NiTech® NRU technology in West Texas. The project will use BCCK’s 220 MMSCFD NiTech® Style IV NRU designed optimally for plants operating in both ethane recovery and in rejection. The Style IV NRU features a modular skidded design resulting in a more economical installation. The Style IV is the company’s latest update and is capable of high recoveries for optimal efficiency and lower greenhouse emissions.

Greg Hall, executive vice president, BCCK, said, “We are excited for the opportunity to expand our reach in West Texas and demonstrate BCCK’s vast gas processing and nitrogen removal knowledge through our patented NiTech® NRU process.”

For more than 30 years, BCCK’s NiTech® NRU has delivered gas processing and NRU solutions.

BCCK’S Powerful G2R-FLEX Technology Enhances Propane Recoveries

BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication and field construction services, is offering G2R-Flex, a technology designed to optimize propane recoveries.

BCCK’s exclusive G2R-Flex is a natural gas liquids (NGL) extraction process delivering maximum profitability through higher plant performance and greater recoveries. As a complete turnkey solution, G2R-Flex can recover up to 99 percent of propane while sustaining a high rejection rate of ethane. Utilizing an add-on package design, G2R-Flex is connected to existing gas subcooled process (GSP) plants to reduce ethane recovery and increase propane recovery.

Jamey Wasson, director of process engineering, BCCK, said, “G2R-Flex enables higher recoveries at existing cryogenic processing plants. Typical GSP recoveries in ethane rejection are 20 percent ethane and 95 percent propane. Our new technology can improve that range with a ‘bolt-on’ package.”

With no additional residue compression required, G2R-Flex offers a 50 percent reduction in facility propane refrigeration requirements. Using equipment already available, G2R-Flex consists of a set of small pumps, vessel and heat exchangers, and requires no additional compression or power. 

Wasson said, “G2R-Flex was designed as a simple and efficient recovery method to provide cost-effective results to exceed our customer’s expectations. With increased propane prices, BCCK’s GSP process has made it possible to improve recoveries without having to install a new facility.”

BCCK Boosts Propane Recovery with Next-Generation Technology at Cryogenic Gas Processing Facility

BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication and field construction services, has applied G2R-Flex technology to enhance propane recovery for a premier midstream group in Ohio’s Marcellus-Utica Basin.

Utilizing a skidded BCCK patent-pending design, G2R-Flex improved current 200 MMSCFD GSP facilities’ propane recoveries to greater than 99 percent in ethane rejection and can also be applied to improve performance in ethane recovery.

Greg Hall, executive vice president, BCCK, said, “With increased propane prices, BCCK is continually working to improve overall project economics for our customers. Our latest design, G2R-Flex, will further optimize recoveries to exceed customer expectations for NGL extraction.”

G2R-Flex is available to increase recoveries at many of the existing gas subcooled process (GSP) cryogenic gas processing facilities. This NGL extraction process assures maximum profitability through higher efficiencies and greater recoveries.

Hall added, “There are hundreds of cryo plants battling poor performance related to NGL recovery. BCCK has used its vast experience with cryogenic gas processing and NGL extraction to develop this simple, efficient, and effective modification for our customer.”

BCCK offered complete turnkey capabilities on this project through full EPC services (detailed planning and design; custom fabrication; and field installation), to increase propane recoveries for the local market.
