Frequently Asked Questions

What is a demethanizer?
A demethanizer is a type of distillation column used to remove methane from other hydrocarbons in natural gas processing.
How does a demethanizer work?
It works by utilizing the different boiling points of hydrocarbons to separate methane from heavier gases through controlled temperature and pressure conditions.
Why are demethanizers important in gas processing?
They are crucial because they enhance the purity of natural gas by effectively removing methane, making the gas suitable for further processing or sale.
What factors affect demethanizer performance?
Factors include feed composition, column design, operating conditions, and maintenance practices.
