Producers Midstream, the Dallas-based midstream company, will be using UOP Russell modular cryogenic equipment to process 200 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas at its gas processing facility in the Delaware Basin in western Texas. When the new plant begins operations it will serve gas producers in the Wolfcamp, Bone Springs and Avalon formations of the Delaware Basin. UOP Russell is a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell and is responsible for midstream services such as equipment delivery and Cryo EasyConnect.
Cryogenic units extract high-value natural gas liquids (NGLs) from natural gas streams by refrigeration to extremely low temperatures. A variety of stainless steels and corrosion resistant alloys are often used for cryogenic applications because of their ability to perform successfully in frigid temperatures. These NGLs, including ethane, propane and butanes, are often used for heating or to manufacture plastics, chemicals and fuels.
