Abstract
A gas conditioning system is described herein. The system includes a slug catcher configured to separate a hydrocarbon feed stream into a liquid stream and a gas stream, and a first hydrate inhibitor injection unit configured to lower a hydrate formation temperature of the gas stream using a first hydrate inhibitor. The system includes a pressure reduction unit, a first separation unit configured to remove a first liquid stream including the first hydrate inhibitor from the gas stream, a mercury removal unit, and an acid gas removal unit. The system also includes a second hydrate inhibitor injection unit configured to further lower the hydrate formation temperature of the gas stream using a second hydrate inhibitor, a cooling unit, a second separation unit configured to remove a second liquid stream including the second hydrate inhibitor from the gas stream, and a dehydration unit configured to produce a final treated gas stream.
