Market to Remove Liquids From Oil and Natural Gas Approaches $2 Billion/Yr.
The market to remove liquids from oil, fuels and gas is close to $2 billion/yr.
and includes a range of devices to remove both small and large droplets as well
as water in emulsified solutions. Water and other liquids need to be removed
from natural and synthetic gas. Common applications are:
Gas processing plants
Pipeline compressor stations
Storage
LNG liquefaction/Regas plants
Natural gas processing consists of separating hydrocarbons and fluids from pure
natural gas to produce pipeline quality dry natural gas to be fed to gas
transportation systems. High efficiency cartridge L/G coalescers are used for
vapor removal from the gas stream during processing and transportation.
Typically, they are used downstream from other separation equipment including
centrifugal separators, mist eliminators and mesh pads
Liquid-liquid coalescers can be stationary or mobile. Applications include oil
in upstream applications as well as fuels. In the stationary segment, the major
players, account for approximately 30 percent of the revenues. The media is
supplied by a limited number of companies such as Lydall and Hollingsworth &
Vose.
Mercury exists in natural gas in the vapor phase and must be removed prior to
contact with aluminum components in processing plants. Carbon beds have
typically been used for this removal. Multiple carbon beds are needed. One is
regenerated while the other is removing the mercury. Some of the newer sources
of gas such as found in Malaysia are experiencing mercury levels 40 times higher
than found elsewhere. The problems caused by frequent regeneration inspired
considerable research As a result, new technologies such as ionic liquid
impregnated pellets are now available. They show much higher holding capacity
than carbon beds. System suppliers are providing multiple vessels with switching
valves and regeneration processes complete with blowers.
The markets for removal of liquids from gas, the removal of liquids from fuels
in both stationary and mobile processes and the removal of mercury from gas are
forecasted in Coalescer Supplier Program

This free webinar will be held at 10:00 AM on June 16. A collaborative format
will be used to discuss decision guides on acid gas removal for coal fired
power, cement, steel, waste to energy, and glass plants. The decision guides
already prepared on these subjects will be updated and quickly displayed during
the meeting. Discussion will revolve around controversial issues. Subscribers to
Power Plant Air Quality Decisions and Industrial Air Plants and Projects can
access the guides at any time. End users also have access upon request.
Information on new developments is continually solicited. For questions contact
Bob Mcilvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847-784-0012 ext. 112.
LIFO vs. FIFO filter pulsing to maximize acid gas capture - Last sorbent on the
cake is first removed. How do we change that to FIFO? Click here to participate
in the preliminary analysis.
Direct Sorbent injection is becoming increasingly popular. Much of the acid gas
is removed on the cake formed in the pulse jet filter. It is critical that the
unreacted or last in sorbent is not the first out. The LIFO vs FIFO accounting
concept may apply. Input on this subject is solicited from sorbent, dust
collector, bag and valve suppliers. Over the next few months we will assemble an
analysis and decision guide on maximizing acid gas capture in the bag filter. A
webinar will be scheduled for early Fall to discuss the findings. For more
information contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com
847-784-0012 ext. 112
Molecular Sieve Switching Valves
Molecular sieves are used to dehydrate gas. The valves used in switching from
one sieve bed to another are subject to severe service including zeolite
particles and corrosive, hot conditions. There is considerable controversy on
the best valve designs and materials choices. Over the next few months we will
assemble an analysis and decision guide on this subject. The preliminary
analysis is provided at Severe Service Valve Technologies and Markets. A webinar
will be scheduled for early Fall to discuss the findings. For more information
contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847-784-0012 ext. 112
Choke Valve Decision Guide and Webinar
Mcilvaine is compiling a continually updated Decision Guide for operators of
choke valves used in oil and gas and other industries for fluid control.
Contaminants such as sand integrated into varying mixtures of water, oil,
methane and other gases provide both operational and maintenance challenges. The
guide will identify the major applications and then the performance of various
designs and various materials for specific conditions. The Guide will be the
basis of a recorded discussion to be conducted in early fall 2016. The guide
will be offered free of cost to any end user. It will also be published in
Industrial Valves: World Markets and Strategies. The wisdom of the industry is
sought in order to make this guide the best it can be. Input is welcomed from
any and all sources. White papers, articles and other data to further the
discussion would be most helpful. The background information and part of the
analysis has been prepared and is displayed at Choke Valve Decision Guide. For
more information contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com

Details on Webinars
McIlvaine conducts periodic webinars which are in a discussion format and are
free of charge to all participants. The displayed material and recordings are
free to purchasers of the products and services and by subscription to others.
Format: 50-90 minute recorded discussion using McIlvaine display material. The
session will be free of charge to all participants but registration is required.
Approach: There are two types of webinars. One is focused on Markets and
directed to suppliers. The other is focused on aiding purchasers make the best
Decisions relative to purchases of flow control and treatment equipment and
services.
Markets HTH
General overviews of the market including size and major variables will be
discussed with heavy emphasis on technology and regulatory drivers. The
presentation will be based on the latest information appearing in Mcilvaine
multi-client reports. Questions and views from both subscribers and
non-subscribers are encouraged.
Decisions HTH
McIlvaine has been publishing information systems on pollution control since
1974. Each subject is organized by the pollutant control technology e.g. fabric
filter, scrubber etc. There are search capabilities to retrieve information on
any application. The newest addition has been slide deck systems displaying the
issues and options relative to a specific application. Coal-fired power, cement,
steel, and waste combustion decision slide decks are continually updated.
The continually updated slide decks are displayed on the applicable Decision
System. It is recommended that participants view the slide deck in advance of
the session and be prepared with questions and views.
Value to purchasers and specifiers: Your questions and interests will be
prioritized in the discussion. You will get a monthly newsletter and have
continuing access to the system and multiple ways to interface in the future
along with a networking directory of suppliers.
Value to Suppliers: You have the opportunity to provide data to be considered at
no charge. If you are also a subscriber you will see the summaries in advance
and be able to shed light on issues and options not properly covered in the
slide deck. If you are a subscriber you will receive the monthly newsletter and
continuing yearly access to the system including networking directories.
44I Power Plant Air Quality Decisions includes 1ABC, 3ABC, 4ABC, 9ABC decision
services but not 2ABC. So those with multiple technologies and at least partial
focus on power will find this combination most cost effective.
