The UOP Russell modular cryogenic equipment will be deployed to process 60 million standard cubic ft per day (MMSCFD) of natural gas at Mistral’s site, which is slated to be online in late 2014.
The gas technologies of UOP will be used to extract water, mercury, sulfur, carbon dioxide and contaminants from raw natural gas and recover recover valuable NGLs such as ethane, propane and butane.
UOP gas processing and hydrogen senior vice president and general manager Rebecca Liebert said the project with Mistral showcases company’s ability to work in the northern Bakken basin.
"UOP Russell modular equipment reduces field construction time and lowers capital and operating costs for customers such as Mistral, and allows our customers to achieve aggressive schedules to first gas, which can generate significant incremental value for gas producers and processors," Liebert added.
UOP develops and manufactures UOP Separex membrane, UOP Amine Guard FS and SeparALL solvent systems for acid gas removal, and SeparSIV MOLSIV adsorbent-based systems for water and mercury removal, in addition to UOP Russell equipment.
