Product Sheet CN NATCO MRU Mechanical Refrigeration Units
Effective hydrocarbon dewpoint control across a wide range of process conditions.
NATCO MRU
Mechanical refrigeration unit
Effective dewpoint control
The NATCO MRU mechanical refrigeration unit comprises a refrigeration chiller, cold separator, glycol regeneration system, and integrated condensate stabilizer. It cools the inlet gas stream and provides a stable condensate product. Overall performance is dictated by the composition of the gas stream, inlet and outlet pressures, and inlet temperature.
Higher liquid recovery
The units provide hydrocarbon dewpoint control for applications where autorefrigeration is not practical. Most mechanical refrigeration units are designed for a process temperature of –10 degF [–23 degC]. To increase recovery of marketable liquid hydrocarbons and hence revenue, NATCO MRU units operate at –20 degF [–29 degC].
The units provide both hydrocarbon and water dewpoint control, so upstream dehydration equipment is not required.
Gas-to-liquid exchanger.
