The proper selection of control components in a refinery gas plant is essential for containing fugitive emissions and supporting equipment reliability.

The proper selection of control components in a refinery gas plant is essential for containing fugitive emissions and supporting equipment reliability.

Refinery gas plants process end products into fuel gases such as hydrogen, ethane, methane, and butane. ECI’s technical specialists can assist with material selection and advanced controls to help optimize gas plant performance based on application requirements and current market conditions.

Wet Gas Recycle Control

Protection of wet-gas assets is critical to the operation and efficiency of the compressor. Wet-gas recycle control valves need to respond quickly to changes in process conditions.

ECI’s wet-gas recycle control solutions help protect the first stage of the wet-gas compressor from surge during startup, shutdown, and process upsets.

Protect The First-Stage Wet-Gas Compressor

Wet-gas recycle control is used to help protect the compressor when operating conditions change. Proper valve selection and application engineering support the response and reliability required to protect this critical asset.

Wet Gas Recycle Control Requirements

Noise attenuation may be required for wet-gas recycle control applications. The service conditions should be evaluated carefully so noise-control requirements can be addressed without compromising the response and reliability of the control valve.

ECI’s application engineering team can assist with selection of the proper valve and help ensure reliable performance of the wet-gas recycle control application.

Wet Gas Recycle Control Outcomes

Our solutions help you:

  • Protect critical compressor assets
  • Respond quickly to process changes
  • Reduce the effects of compressor surge
  • Support compressor operation and efficiency
  • Improve control-valve response and reliability
  • Address noise requirements without compromising performance

Control, Measurement, And Safety Technologies

ECI can help identify the appropriate technologies for gas plant and wet-gas recycle control requirements, including:

  • Control valves
  • Process measurement
  • Instrumentation
  • Advanced process controls
  • Compressor protection
  • Pressure and flow control
  • Noise-attenuation solutions
  • Safety and reliability technologies

Technology recommendations should be matched to the process conditions, equipment, response requirements, and operating objectives of the specific application.
