análisis de las alternativas técnicas para la recuperación de etano proveniente de la planta de condensados de un campo de gas ubicado en Colombia

Los campos de gas en Colombia, presentan en su composición una alta concentración de etano, este componente se utiliza para cubrir la demanda de energía en la planta de tratamiento (consumo interno para motores de combustión) y en la reinyección en pozo. Este recurso energético puede tener un mayor...

The gas fields in Colombia involve in their composition a high concentration of ethane
this component used for cover the energy demand into the treatment plant (fuel internal combustion engine) and reinjection into a well. This energy resource may have an added value if the ethane achieves higher levels of purity for their commercialization. This is the reason why is important to identify an ethane separation system to enable the recovery of a higher volume of this hydrocarbon
allowing to the operator company the commercialization that of excess. The investigation has as main objective the analysis simulation made by HYSYS software
the identification of one technical alternative enable to achieve a minimum recovery percentage by 80%
with purity conditions that will comply with the requirements established by GPSA. Before starting the analysis of the different alternatives
the stream must be subject to a pretreatment
with the purpose of achieve the required specifications of sulphides and water. Subsequently will be developed four different phases for the ethane recovery
first to analyze Joule Thomson technology
second turbo-expander
third mechanical cooling
and finally an evaluation of fraction columns that design incorporate turbo-expander
cooler. Finally
with the fourth phase It will be achieved an 84
92 percent of ethane recovery along with a purity of around 98 percent.
