xxx A natural gas treating company can serve various purposes, but the main reason most gas producers need a gas treating company is to provide them with equipment to clean their raw natural gas and transform it into pipeline quality gas. A gas treating company also provides processing plants that reduce the volatility and promote hydrocarbon liquid recovery of the natural gas stream, as well as full-service installation and operating services.
Choosing the right gas treating company plays a key role in the effective operation of natural gas processing plants, and there are certain factors you should consider before making that commitment.
1. Customer Service
When you are looking for a treating company you will want someone who is known for their unparalleled customer service and satisfaction. If you are conducting a plant start-up this is especially important because there may be issues or obstacles that arise during the plant commissioning phase. Our talented team of process engineers and project managers have the knowledge and experience that allows them to quickly implement solutions for start-up issues.
2. Full-Service Operations
Natural gas goes through various treating processes to get from its raw form to pipeline quality. To do so, you will need a treating company that offers full-service operations. This means they can design and build treating and processing plants to ensure that the natural gas and liquids meet all pipeline and customer specifications.
A full-service treating company will offer turnkey installation for all of its plants to help provide seamless equipment installation.Once operational, the treating company needs to have an experienced staff of process engineers and operational personnel to ensure the plants are operating efficiently.
3. Dedicated Process Engineers and Project Managers
When you have decided on a treating company you will need to have a point of contact for all of your questions and concerns. You want to work with a company that is responsive and keeps your best interest in mind. Kinder Morgan Treating has dedicated process engineers, project managers, construction, and installation specialists who can be available 24/7 to address any industry-related questions.
4. ASME Code Facility
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed standards and codes that must be met when fabricating certain gas treating equipment such as pressure vessels. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) gives engineers a guide on how the design, fabrication, and overall maintenance of a pressure vessel needs to be implemented. You will also need to consider how repairs will be completed should an issue arise. Gas treating companies should have their facilities equipped to conform to ASME code requirements.
