LNG conditioning skid
Fuel gas conditioning systems are sometimes required to be mobile to facilitate easier and faster storage and transport. Mounting gas conditioning equipment on skids is an effective way to maintain operational flexibility, as these systems can be quickly transported to areas where they are required.

- Information
There are various reasons why fuel gas should be conditioned. Highlighted below are some of the most important reasons for eliminating impurities from natural gas.
Pipeline longevity as transporting purified gas drastically reduces the corrosion rate of gas conduits.
Conditioned fuel burns cleaner and more efficiently when compared to impurified forms.
The fuel gas conditioning process ensures greater compatibility of the cleaned gas with the machinery they power.
Sensitive machinery components will avoid corrosion-related damage from exposure to unfiltered natural gas.
Process Description
Fuel gas conditioning follows a carefully ordered sequence of steps. The gas conditioning process begins with natural gas, or any other fuel gas type, being channeled through knockout drums where liquid contaminants are eliminated.
Sometimes the dried gas is heated to prevent hydrate formation, which can occur at low processing temperatures and higher pressures. Pressure lowering is an alternative method to gas heating to prevent hydrates.
At the next stage of the process, the fuel gas is passed through a filtration unit to remove solid particles and liquids still retained in the gaseous mixture. Finally, the dried gas is passed through a dewpoint suppression system. This stage applies heat to the conditioned gas as it passes through the exit nozzles, preventing the formation of moisture from pressure loss across exit valves.
Throughout the fuel gas conditioning process, operators can calibrate their equipment according to their unique purity requirements. Temperature and pressure control systems can also be closely monitored to ensure maximum process efficiency.
