Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods for removing radon from a natural gas stream. The system includes a radon permeable membrane. The radon permeable membrane is configured to separate a natural gas stream into a radon rich permeate stream and a radon reduced retentate stream. The radon rich stream can be stored for a period of time to yield a decayed permeate stream or reinjected into the source formation. The system can include a second radon permeable membrane configured to separate the radon reduced retentate stream into a second permeable stream and a second retentate stream. The decayed permeate stream and second retentate stream can be combined to form a sales gas.
