  • easy to start-up and operate

Propak's extensive experience, process technology expertise, and backed process performance guarantee puts our clients at ease.

Flare Gas Recovery

Propak has the experience and capability to design, engineer, and package flare gas recovery units for on-shore and off-shore application. Propak has designed LPG recovery units specifically developed to recover LPG and condensate liquids from stranded flare gas.

Propak has completed this type of project, as a single super-module, outfitted onto an existing off-shore FPSO (Floating Production System Offshore). This unit processed 13 MMSCFD of oil production associated gas to recover 2200 BBL/D of C3/C4 LPG & 1800 BBL/D of C5+ condensate. This allowed the operator to utilize the residual gas for power generation and significantly reduced the operators' net flare gas volume providing cleaner flare gas combustion.

Propak designed all the auxiliary systems related to the flare gas recovery unit including:

  • flare gas booster compressors
  • molecular sieve dehydration unit
  • LPG recovery unit, with deethanizer
  • debutanizer
  • refrigeration system
  • LPG storage, c/w weight balancing system
  • LPG off-loading system to off-load via floating hose system
