2. Treatment process
When treating oil fields, it's important to maintain the temperature of the effluent. In gas field processing, it's more important to keep the pressure above 60 to 90 bar, to limit the need for recompression.
2.1 Gas treatment
Offshore producing gas fields generally contain little sour gas, so amine desulfurization units are rare. The main objective of gas treatment is to remove water from the gas. Section 20 of the GPSA manual provides a good introduction to dehydration methods.
