Buying Used JT Systems
Surplus Energy Equipment (SEE) has developed strong business relationships with surplus equipment brokers and used oilfield equipment suppliers in order to have a diverse inventory to meet unique and specific requests form our customers.
In this blog we would like to specifically focus on one key product in our inventory; used Joule Thomson (JT) skids or Joule Thomson (JT) plants. these units are either used for natural gas liquid (NGL) recovery or BTU reduction.
What is a JT Plant? A JT Plant utilizes a pressure drop to chill the natural gas for NGL recovery or BTU reduction. This is crucial in midstream and upstream operations where gas conditioning is required.
What to Look for When Purchasing or Renting a JT Plant
When buying or renting a Joule Thomson skid there are several things to consider. One is the areas of concern in the heat exchangers, overtime blockage can occur leading to their being leaks in the heat exchangers. Another is the cold separator integrity of properly separating liquids from gas and JT valves could also become seized up.
Sizing Considerations
When looking for a JT the variable that most people go to is the volume capacity of the JT plant. For example, they will contact us and say they need a 5 MMcf JT plant meaning a unit designed to process 5 million cubic feet of gas per day.
