High-Performance JT Skids for Natural Gas Liquid Recovery
About Our JT Skids for Gas Liquid Recovery
Credence Gas Services, LLC provides custom-designed JT skids (Joule-Thomson skids) that play a critical role in natural gas liquid recovery. Our systems are engineered to enhance operational efficiency by reducing the water and hydrocarbon dew point of the gas stream, allowing you to meet strict pipeline specifications while recovering valuable natural gas liquids (NGLs). Whether you are looking to rent or own, our high-quality equipment is built to maximize your site’s profitability.
Why Our JT Skids Are the Right Choice for Your Operation
Choosing a JT skid from Credence Gas Services means investing in equipment engineered for performance and reliability. Each unit is meticulously designed to provide maximum efficiency across a variety of field conditions. Our systems work effectively to lower the gas stream’s British Thermal Unit (BTU) value, which is often necessary to meet sales contracts and ensure the gas is suitable for high-speed engines.
The Technical Benefits of a Credence Gas JT Skid
Our JT skids provide a range of benefits that directly impact your bottom line and operational safety:
Efficient Liquid Recovery: An affordable and effective way to remove valuable liquids like propane, butane, pentane, and hexane from the natural gas stream.
Equipment Protection: By removing impurities and liquids, our skids reduce the risk of damage to major downstream engine components.
Enhanced Product Value: Increasing the overall quality of your gas leads to a higher-value final product.
Flexible Acquisition: We offer "Rent or Own" options to fit your project’s specific capital expenditure requirements.
Our Commitment to Technical Excellence
At Credence Gas Services, we stand by the quality of our products and our family-owned heritage. Our team provides comprehensive technical support and engineering expertise to help you effectively evaluate and solve issues within your gas production processes. We ensure your JT skid operates at peak performance from the moment it is deployed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How Does a JT Skid Facilitate Natural Gas Liquid Recovery?
A JT skid utilizes the Joule-Thomson effect, a thermodynamic principle where gas temperature drops significantly as it experiences a controlled pressure drop through a specialized valve. This rapid cooling causes heavy hydrocarbons to condense into liquids, which are then captured in a cold separator for storage or sale.
What Is the Difference Between Field Gas Conditioning and Fuel Gas Conditioning?
Field gas conditioning prepares raw gas for transport by removing water and NGLs to meet pipeline dew point specifications. Fuel gas conditioning specifically tailors gas quality—often by reducing the BTU value—to ensure safe and efficient combustion in onsite equipment like high-speed engines or turbines.
How Do You Prevent Freezing or Hydrate Formation Inside the Skid?
Because the Joule-Thomson effect creates intense cold, water remaining in the gas can freeze and form hydrates. To prevent this, our skids typically utilize methanol injection or dehydration units to suppress the freezing point and ensure continuous, reliable operation.
