DES PLAINES, Ill., May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON)
UOP announced today that it will it will provide a modular
Honeywell UOP Russell cryogenic gas processing plant to help
EagleClaw Midstream Ventures recover valuable natural gas liquids
(NGLs) in the Permian Basin. Midland,
Texas-based EagleClaw is focused on developing midstream
infrastructure opportunities in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.
The skid-mounted modular plant will be shipped via semi-trucks
to EagleClaw's East Toyah plant
from Honeywell UOP's manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Okla. When it enters operation, the
unit is capable of processing 200 MMSCFD of natural gas to extract
NGLs.
"Customers such as EagleClaw are building new capacity in
response to demand for NGLs, which are used as fuel additives and
petrochemical feedstocks," said John
Gugel, vice president and general manager for Honeywell
UOP's Gas Processing and Hydrogen business. "Because this unit is
shop-fabricated and shipped as a modular system, it benefits from
standardized design and construction techniques that ensure fast
project completion and highly reliable performance."
Modular gas processing plants allow midstream gas companies to
expand incrementally as feed volumes increase over time using
parallel process trains, and to upgrade facilities with additional
process capabilities or to adapt to changing feed stocks and
product slates.
"Our goal is to stay a step ahead of our customers' processing
needs and provide the optionality they need to move hydrocarbons to
the best possible markets," said EagleClaw President and CEO
Bob Milam.
Honeywell UOP Russell equipment is designed to make both the
natural gas stream producer and the midstream service provider
highly competitive. Today, more than 100 Honeywell UOP Russell
modular cryogenic units are in operation in North America.
Honeywell UOP's pre-engineered modular equipment can be shipped
easily to remote locations. Modules fit together easily and
efficiently, significantly reducing construction time and expense,
and enhancing reliability after start-up. This enables customers to
more quickly begin processing gas and earning revenue. The
standardized modular approach helps drive greater ease of operation
for the customer due to common parts, skid and installation
layouts, and spares that simplify training, operations and
maintenance.
Natural gas liquids include ethane, propane, butanes and higher
molecular weight hydrocarbons commonly found in natural gas
streams. The components of NGLs can be used for heating or to
manufacture plastics, chemicals and blending components that raise
the octane level of transportation fuels.
In addition to modular gas processing units, Honeywell UOP
provides a wide range of modular solutions for refining, including
crude distillation units, saturated gas plants, naphtha and
distillate hydrotreaters, and isomerization, Merox™ and CCR and
fixed-bed Platforming™ units. This modular technology delivery
affords quick construction in challenging environments and
consistently high quality control. Honeywell UOP has delivered more
than 1,400 fully-engineered and pre-fabricated modular process
units to customers around the world.
