recovery of condensate from natural gas

[Othukaey]

A plant design project
RECOVERY OF CONDENSATE FROM 200MMSCF PER DAY OF NET NATURAL GAS.
SUBTITLES;
* FLOW SHEETING
* MATERIAL BALANCE
* ENERGY BALANCE
* PIPING & INSTRUMENTATION
* EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION & DESIGN
* PLANT LAYOUT
* COSTING & EVALUATION
* ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
* SAFETY
* START-UP & SHUT-DOWN.
I have chosen to use the lean oil absorption method, but I need assistance on the flow sheet, material balance and the energy balance.

Ambitious.

Why did you decide on the lean oil method? What were the alternatives you considered?

Really, I haven't seen a new lean oil plant built in a long time.

Is this a student posting?

 

[Othukaey]

I choose the Lean oil method because of its non complexity and because I'm not Interested in high ethane recovery due to low demand for ethane. I considered is GSP, JT and other cryogenic processes.
Yes it's a student posting, all I need is just an idea or source material on how to go about the design problem.
Thanks for the responses.
