Poco Petroleums Ltd., Calgary, has enhanced propane recovery at its Wolf South plant, near Edmonton, without additional dehydration or external solvent make-up. This was accomplished with a 45-MMscfd addition that uses the Mehra process unit. The unit uses the heavier components of the natural gas feed as the preferred solvent while limiting incremental gas-side pressure drop to about 20 psi. The existing C{sub 3{sup +}} production is additionally fractionated by the Mehra unit to produce a C{sub 5{sup +}} gasoline product and a C{sub 3}/C{sub 4} mixed product. The paper describes the Mehra process, the equipment required, the upgrading of the refrigeration plants, the Wolf South plant, start-up, and performance.
