The #WaitsiaGasField, one of Australia’s largest onshore discoveries, is now entering Stage 2 operations, with the capacity to deliver up to 250 TJ/day. This expansion is set to play a key role in meeting the world’s growing #LNG demand while continuing to support domestic supply for Western Australian industries and consumers. A pivotal aspect of LNG production is the use of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) to prevent #hydrateformation and ensure smooth flow during production and transportation. To reduce losses, lower energy consumption, and enhance sustainability, the #MEG mixed with produced water is regenerated and reused through advanced MEG #regenerationunits. For this project, Exakta has been entrusted to supply its #3CTriplex Reciprocating Pumps for MEG injection into the Lean MEG Cooler. With their robust design, high reliability, and long MTBF, our pumps are helping operators achieve cost savings while maintaining #processefficiency and sustainability. As LNG continues to play a vital role in the global energy transition, Exakta is proud to support projects like Waitsia with technology that ensures safety, reliability, and efficiency. 👉 Meet us at #Gastech2025 - Pav 18P Stand K97 - to explore how Exakta solutions are driving performance and sustainability in LNG processing.

Excited to showcase Exakta’s advanced #3CTriplex API674 Reciprocating Pumps playing a critical role in the #WaitsiaGasField Stage 2 LNG project. Our pumps deliver exceptional reliability and efficiency for MEG injection, essential for effective #hydrateformation prevention and sustainable #meg regeneration. This reinforces our capability to provide robust, high-performance #API674 solutions designed for demanding onshore LNG applications, supporting energy transition goals while ensuring long-term operational excellence. A big appreciation to all the dedicated teams and partners involved in making this project a success through their expertise and collaboration. #ExaktaPumps #LNGProcessing #ChemicalInjection #Reliability #Efficiency #oilandgas #Refineries #Onshore #Offshore #Packages

Amine solvents are essential in natural gas treating, but their volatility and degradation can drive up operating costs through significant solvent losses. Piperazine, a key component in piperazine-promoted MDEA blends for LNG, is especially prone to vaporisation, leading to solvent composition drift and reduced CO₂ removal efficiency. Losses can arise through volatilisation, entrainment, or thermal breakdown, making solvent management essential for reliable performance. This article explores how water washing provides a practical, economical solution to minimise amine losses, preserve solvent balance, and maintain treating efficiency in LNG applications.

🔥 Always in the news: LPG, a key player in the energy transition 🔥 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plays a crucial role in today’s energy mix. Here’s a simplified overview of how it is produced and prepared for export: 🔹 Debutanizer Column At the top of the debutanizer column, LPG is recovered with a minimum recovery rate of 88%. The stream is primarily composed of propane (C3, >90%) with smaller amounts of butane (C4). At moderate pressure and high temperature, it exits in vapor form. 🔹 Air Refrigerants The vapor passes through a series of air-coolers (fans) to reduce its temperature, condensing into liquid. 🔹 Vertical Drum (Knock-out Drum) The liquid LPG is collected in a drum where water and other heavier components are separated by gravity. 🔹 Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps From there, LPG is pumped to the pretreatment section. 🔹 Pretreatment (Purification) Through molecular sieve adsorption, H₂S and mercury are removed to meet export specifications. 🔹 Storage & Export The purified LPG is stored in large pressurized spheres, then transferred to terminal facilities for export overseas. LPG: clean, versatile, and globally traded — a real driver in the energy transition. 🌍⚡ #LPG #EnergyTransition #OilAndGas #Refining #Petrochemicals #Sustainability #Energy #Sonatrach #Algeria

Raman spectrometers can upgrade the measurement of natural gas. The latest Application Note https://lnkd.in/eGiQQfiY discusses how these spectrometers can provide accurate, real-time data on key gas components like methane, ethane, and propane. The process is simplified and expedited, with measurements completed within a minute. These analyzers can benefit the natural gas industry or petrochemical processes, aiding in identifying and quantifying pipeline contents, refining pricing strategies, and enhancing safety through rapid leak detection. Utilizing Bruker's advanced process solutions can streamline operations and boost efficiency.                                                  #Bruker #RamanSpectroscopy #NaturalGasMeasurements #PipelineSafety
