Gázfeldolgozó

Gázfeldolgozó refers to the processing of natural gas or other gaseous substances. This involves a series of operations designed to purify, separate, and prepare the gas for its intended use, such as fuel, feedstock for chemical processes, or for transport. The specific steps in gas processing depend heavily on the initial composition of the gas and the desired end product.

Common processes include dehydration, where water vapor is removed to prevent hydrate formation and corrosion. Desulfurization is another critical step, aiming to remove sulfur compounds like hydrogen sulfide, which are corrosive and toxic, and can be a source of valuable sulfur. Hydrocarbon dew point control is also essential, ensuring that heavier hydrocarbons are removed to prevent condensation in pipelines.

Further processing might involve separating different components of the natural gas, such as methane, ethane, propane, and butane, through cryogenic distillation or other separation techniques. These separated components can then be used as fuel, in the petrochemical industry, or liquefied for transport as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The infrastructure and technology employed in gázfeldolgozó are vital for the energy sector and various industrial applications.
