JT Skids

JT units built around a low-temperature separator that drops gas below its dew point to knock out water and hydrocarbon liquids in a single cold stage. Common for wellhead dew-point control where high inlet pressure is available.

Skids configured specifically to meet pipeline hydrocarbon and water dew-point specifications by Joule-Thomson cooling and liquid removal, conditioning gas for sales or further transport.

JT units optimized to maximize recovery of natural gas liquids and condensate from the cooled stream, often including stabilization to produce a salable liquid product.

Hybrid units that supplement Joule-Thomson cooling with a propane or other refrigerant chiller to reach lower temperatures when reservoir pressure drop alone is insufficient.

The recuperative exchanger section that pre-cools warm inlet gas against cold separator outlet gas, improving thermal efficiency and reducing the pressure drop required across the JT valve.

Ancillary systems that inject methanol or monoethylene glycol upstream of the cold section to prevent gas hydrate formation and ice plugging as the gas is chilled below freezing.

Compact field skids installed at or near the wellhead to take advantage of high flowing pressure for first-stage dew-point control and liquids drop-out before gathering.
