This paper discusses DHX processing and how it can boost propane and heavier recovery from solution, refinery and natural gas to almost 100 percent. The process has been demonstrated at the Judy Creek plant of Esso Canada Resources, Ltd. A cryogenic expander plant was converted, after which recovery rose from 72 percent to 95 percent with 100% recovery recorded when operating at constant feed rates. Total investment for conversion was less than $750,000 to produce an extra 800 to 1,000 bpd of propane and heavier hydrocarbons.
