ENERGY USAGE IN THE UNITED STATES. More than 60 million homes and businesses in the US and Canada use natural gas for heating, power, are constantly being made clean burning, efficient fuel. Natural gas comes from than one million miles of pipeline exist in North tions located along the length of pipeline move the gas from the wellhead to consumer distribution points. Gas Production Flow Process However, the raw gas from the ground requires processing and refining before it is ready for use. The installation of Finite® filters make it possible to improve process efficiency and provide...

Once a naturai gas well has been drilled, the gas is extracted from the ground via natural pressure and sent through a compressor prior to treatment. Raw natural gas, as it exists underground, contains liquid slugs, hydrogen sulfide, oil and other contaminants. The wells from which the gas is extracted are dirty. Sometimes these wells are also treated with acids or gases to promote movement of the gas to the surface. Common problems include: • Compressor fouling • Fouling of gas treatment processes • Equipment corrosion • Unnecessary maintenance due to lack of filtration Two-stage...

Desiccant Dehydration Desiccant dehydration is the primary form of natural gas "drying". Wet gas enters and passes through the desiccant, where the water is adsorbed and retained, and the gas exits. Two or more towers, filled with a solid desiccant such as silica gel or molecular sieve, can usually be found in the system so that as the desiccant in one tower becomes saturated with water, it can be shut down and the desiccant regenerated while another tower is on-line. The natural gas is then sent through a regeneration cycle. In this cycle, dry gas exits the bed, is cooled, and wet gas is...

Pipeline and/or stored natural gas is sent through a compressor and heated, preparing it for use as a fuel gas. This gas supplies the energy needed to operate heavy duty machinery and various tools employed In general, pipeline natural gas does not receive adequate filtration prior to entering a factory for use as fuel gas. This gas can contain solids such as sand, clay and iron; condensed gas liquids, water vapor and additives such as odorizers and corrosion inhibitors used in the gas pipeline, • Compressor and burner fouling • Instrument wear • Frequent maintenance and repair Two-stage...

Landfill waste decomposes and produces what is known as landfill gas. This gas is composed mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, with small amounts of other gases, organic (non-meth- ane) and inorganic compounds. Landfill gas has proven to be a reliable energy source for both industrial and residential use, and its conversion reduces greenhouse gas emissions, pollution Landfill gas is collected in underground wells, brought to the surface and compressed before being sent out for resale and Landfills are naturally dirty and retain particulate and moisture. Temperature changes increase the...

Alternative Fuels - Fuel Dispensing Compressed Natural Gas, or CNG, is a leading alternative to traditional fuel for the automotive industry. CNG is used in passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, in transit and on school buses. It can be less expensive than gasoline, and is more environmentally friendly - it reduces the amount of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon vehicle exhaust Natural gas is gathered from a pipeline and travels to a con- necting compressor station. The gas is elevated to pressures ranging from 2000 psig up to 5000 psig and the resultant CNG is stored in large...

Filters for Natural Gas Applications For more detailed information on this product line, please see Bulletin 1300-400/USA. Finite® Filter offers an array of filters sized to handle any natural gas flow and several media choices to meet natural gas applica- tion demands. ASME filter housings are constructed from carbon steel. Choices of filter media types include glass fiber for coalesc- ing liquids, cellulose for particulate removal and activated carbon materials for oil vapor and hydrocarbon removal. Filter element ratings are available from 100 micron down to 0.01 micron. • Coalescing,...
