This project is about Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Recovery in the plant. The main objective of this project is to study on several technologies and process used in NGL recovery nowadays via HYSYS simulation. In this study, the technologies used for simulation are 3-S technology (twister), turbo-expander, and J-T valve expansion. For NGL recovery process, the processes are based on Ortloff Engineer, LTD which is GSP, OHR, RSV, RSVE, IOR, and SCORE. The effects on different types of technologies used for controlling HCDP and to produce lowtemperature were investigated. Moreover, the ethaneand propane recovery with respect to compression power and C02-tolerant for different types on NGL recovery processes were studied. There are several steps need to be done so that the objectives of this project can be achieved; define the problem, review the critical literature, define operating conditions to the simulation, run the simulation, manipulate the technologies/processes, collect the data for discussion, and draw the conclusion for this project. Turbo-expander producesmuch lower temperature to the column compared with twister and J-T valve. RSV and SCOREprocesses give the highest recovery for the same compression power for ethane and propane recovery process respectively meanwhile RSVE is more C02-tolerant compared with other ethane recovery process.
