NG-SNG handbook
The new mobility and new sources of natural gas are reshaping the fuel gas industry. Distribution systems are being converted from town gas to natural gas. Processes for manufacturing substitute natural gas (SNG) to supplement supplies of natural gas are in demand worldwide for peak shaving and baseload use. No longer is gas use limited to the reach of pipelines from the production . fields. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) makes it available for movement to all continents and lands. Multimillion-dollar plants for natural gas liquefaction are in all phases of development from preliminary evaluation to commercial reality. Most of the world is involved--Africa, South America, Alaska, Indonesia, Russia, and the Middle East. This handbook describes the most outstanding processes used in the natural gas and substitute natural gas industry. Process options for drying, sweetening, recovering natural gas liquids (NGL), manufacturing LNG and helium, removing carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and for making SNG from coal, shale, and oil can be reviewed quickly with the data presented.
