Condensate Stabilization systems are familiar and not overly complicated, however there are a number of common design and operating issues that are poorly understood and seldom discussed. This webinar provides an overview of hydrocarbon condensate stabilization, the basics of system design, and mitigation of less visible issues such as wax and the costly problem of salt deposition, which has become a new design and troubleshooting issue in certain fields.

CONCLUSION WRAP UP:

  • What is stabilization and why do we do it?
  • What specifications are commonly required? (Vapour Pressure, C4-, H2S removal)
  • How do we stabilize? (Heating and Flashing or Multi-stage Tower systems)
  • What Can go wrong? (Not making specification, Waxes, Asphaltenes, Salt)
  • System modifications and design techniques to mitigate these challenges.
