WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOWNSTREAM OIL AND GAS FILTRATION

Refineries operate around the clock, processing several hundred thousand barrels of crude oil a day. Reliable oil and gas filtration is necessary to protect equipment, ensure production efficiency, minimize process upsets and downtime and reduce maintenance costs.

In its blog post, Parker examines the role of filtration in each factory process and application.

Downstream processes that require filtration:

  • Amine sweetening and glycol dehydration. Amine sweetening removes toxic and corrosive components, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2), from a hydrocarbon gas stream.

  • Hydrocracking is a process that breaks down heavy hydrocarbon molecules into light, shorter chain hydrocarbons to produce valuable fuel products.

  • Hydrotreating is used to desulfurize petrochemical feed stock through a catalytic conversion.

  • Final product filtration. Final product filtration occurs after processing and refining when fluids and fuels are transferred through pipelines and storage systems for delivery.
