DES PLAINES, Ill., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UOP LLC, a
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company, announced today that a new UOP
Russell modular gas processing plant in northern Louisiana has begun processing rich natural
gas and recovering valuable natural gas liquids (NGLs). This is the
second turnkey UOP Russell plant commissioned by PennTex Midstream
Partners, LP, capable of processing 200 million standard cubic feet
per day (MMSCFD) of natural gas. PennTex's first UOP Russell gas
plant began operation in May
2015.
"Natural gas is on trend to become the world's second-largest
source of energy by 2035, so the ability to process gas reserves
profitably is critical to meet that growing demand," said
John Gugel, vice president and
general manager for Honeywell UOP's Gas Processing and Hydrogen
business. "UOP Russell pre-engineered modular gas processing
plants, coupled with a turnkey solution, help companies such as
PennTex process gas and recover valuable NGLs faster than with
stick-built plants, all with better quality and more attractive
economics."
For both PennTex projects, Honeywell UOP supplied and installed
modular cryogenic, dehydration, acid gas removal, and inlet/residue
compression units, along with the control system, the flare system
and site electrical equipment. Honeywell UOP also provided site
utility systems and buildings for office, control room, motor
control center and compressors.
"Over the past 18 months, our team has worked side by side with
Honeywell UOP to complete these two projects in north Louisiana," said Tommy
Stone, PennTex's chief engineering and operations officer.
"Through this collaboration, PennTex has been able to meet the
needs of our customers in a safe and efficient manner."
UOP Russell modular equipment can easily be shipped to remote
locations. Modules fit together simply and efficiently,
significantly reducing construction time and expense, and improving
reliability after start-up. For repeat customers, the standardized
modular approach drives greater ease of operation due to common
parts, skid and installation layouts, and spares that simplify
training, operations and maintenance. Watch a video on UOP Russell
modular gas processing solutions.
UOP Russell modular equipment is one of the key technologies
offered by Honeywell UOP's Gas Processing and Hydrogen business to
treat and process natural gas. The company also offers a suite of
related technologies such as Callidus flares, and technologies to
remove contaminants from raw natural gas streams and to purify
hydrogen used in refineries. The business has supplied technology
to more than 3,600 individual process units for gas processing in a
broad range of applications throughout the world. UOP also supplies
modular equipment to the global refining and
petrochemical industries.
In addition, Honeywell Process Solutions provides advanced
automation, monitoring, and safety and security systems for the
entire gas supply chain to help operators increase plant
reliability and efficiency, while reducing costs and risk.
