Abstract
Natural gas processing plants employ several types of utility systems. The most common utilities are described with the acronym WAGES for water, air, gas, electricity, and steam. Other utilities include refrigeration systems and nitrogen for purging and inert gas blanketing. Many so-called “offsites” systems are required for safe and environmentally friendly plant operations. A variety of these systems are found in most natural gas processing plants. The objective of this chapter is to provide a brief description of the common utility systems and offsite facilities found in gas processing plants. Many of the basic design and operation considerations are discussed. Further details can be found in most of the references provided.
