Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Recovery

This advanced course provides a technical deep-dive into the processes and economics of extracting valuable Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs)—such as ethane, propane, and butane—from raw natural gas. Participants will explore and compare key recovery technologies, including the lean oil absorption process, refrigerated absorption, and the industry-standard cryogenic turboexpander process. The training covers the design, optimization, and control of fractionation columns to separate the NGL mix into purity products. The central theme is balancing market demand for NGLs with residue gas specifications, ensuring maximum economic recovery.
