Condensate Stabilizer Process Package

Compass Model No.: Process Equipment – Refluxed Stabilizer

Application: Liquid product vapour pressure and composition control

Customer Objective:

  • Control top and bottom product vapour pressure and key component content to allow tank and bullet storage.
  • Offload existing de-ethanizer to allow more plant throughput.
  • Sweeten inlet liquid.

Design Challenges: Generate discrete product specifications at both tower top and bottom while condensing using air cooler. Eliminate hydrate formation on inlet level control.

Compass Solution: Reboiler and reflux system, cooling air temperature controlled condenser, inlet heater and feed/bottoms exchanger.
