Skid-Mounted Joule Thomson (JT) Skids
RAG Process LLC provides skid-mounted Joule Thomson (JT) skids designed to handle gas volumes ranging from 1 to 50 MMcfd. These JT systems, also known as JT skids or JT plants, perform multiple functions: reducing the water dew point of gas, recovering valuable hydrocarbon liquids, and lowering the BTU (British Thermal Unit) of the gas stream to meet sales contract specifications or to levels suitable for high-speed engines.
- Process Overview: The gas enters the system and travels through a series of heat exchangers before passing through the JT valve, where it undergoes a pressure drop and cools to as low as -20°F. Liquid fallout is collected in the cold separator and sent to storage tanks, while the cold gas exits the system through the heat exchanger.
- Hydrate Prevention: Our standard JT skids come equipped with an on-skid methanol injection system to prevent hydrate formation.
- NGL Recovery: The system is specifically designed to recover Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs), which are valuable hydrocarbons that can otherwise cause slugging and corrosion in equipment and pipelines.
- Standard Units: We offer JT skids in standard sizes of 2 MMscfd, 5 MMscfd, 15 MMscfd, and 45 MMscfd, providing flexible solutions to suit different operational needs.
RAG Process LLC’s Joule Thomson Systems are engineered to maximize the recovery of valuable hydrocarbons, ensuring efficient gas processing and enhanced profitability.
