Natural gas gathering systems deliver large volumes of gas via pipeline to the central inlet of the gas processing facility. Removal of solid contaminants and free liquids present in the inlet gas is critical to the downstream process.

Iron oxides, iron sulfides, dirt and other deformable particles can flow into the processing system. Effective removal of these contaminants is needed to prevent fouling.

Pentair  technologies will help with a clean, natural gas feed, reducing upsets and associated downtime and increase productivity, lowering capital costs with fewer change-outs.

Raw natural gas must be purified to meet the quality standards specified by the major pipeline transmission and distribution companies. Those quality standards vary from pipeline to pipeline and are usually a function of a pipeline system's design and the markets that it serves. In general, the standards specify that the natural gas: heating value, hydrocarbon dew point, free of particulate solids and liquid water, dehydrated of water vapor, contain no more than trace amounts of components such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, mercaptans, and nitrogen and maintain mercury at less than detectable limits.
