An amine plant, also known as an amine treating unit or gas sweetening unit, is a critical component in the oil and gas industry, designed to remove acidic components—primarily hydrogen sulfide H2S and carbon dioxide CO2 —from natural gas and other process streams. This process is essential for meeting pipeline specifications, protecting equipment from corrosion, […]
Industrial burners sit at the center of many oil and gas processing operations. From glycol dehydration units and amine plants to line heaters and fired process heaters, safe and efficient combustion is critical to production reliability, operating costs, and personnel safety. Yet burners are often treated as “set it and forget it” equipment. Over time, […]
Complete Glycol Dehydration System Maintenance from Inspection to Startup Triethylene Glycol (TEG) dehydration systems are mission-critical assets in natural gas processing. When a TEG unit underperforms, the consequences are immediate—off-spec gas, excessive glycol losses, foaming, corrosion, and unplanned shutdowns. That’s why professional TEG cleanout and overhaul services are essential for operators seeking reliable dehydration performance […]
Case Study Blog: How Chlorides Affect Glycol Dehydrators in Natural Gas Processing Glycol dehydration units are critical in the natural gas industry for removing water vapor from raw gas streams to meet pipeline and sales gas specifications. Among the many contaminants and operational challenges that glycol dehydrators face, chlorides (e.g., NaCl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂) stand out […]
The Due Diligence Deep Dive: Top 10 Questions to Ask Before Buying a Glycol Dehydrator In the world of natural gas processing, removing water vapor is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a fundamental necessity for preventing corrosion, inhibiting the formation of dangerous gas hydrates, and ensuring the gas meets pipeline quality specifications typically 7 pounds […]
The Due Diligence Deep Dive: Top 10 Questions to Ask Before Buying a JT Plant In the upstream and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, efficiency, recovery, and regulatory compliance are the cornerstones of profitability. A Joule-Thomson (JT) Plant—a simple, elegant piece of technology leveraging the cooling effect of gas expansion—is often the […]
Preston Croft was raised in a hardworking family in South Texas in the 1950s. Surrounded by people who valued both effort and humor, he learned the importance of perseverance early on.
