Details of Duties at Qatar Petroleum Refinery

Experience in Qatar Petroleum Corporation
Qatar General Petroleum NGL/SRU plant consist of following important areas of operation

Raw Natural Gas receiving from offshore

Raw Natural Gas is received from offshore plant via 34 gas pipeline with 865MMSCFD flow at 101bar pressure
Natural Gas condensate reception Raw natural gas condensate and associated gas is also received via 12 inch line from
offshore plant at 117bar pressure and at 30c

Acid Gas removal Unit (AGR)

NGL facility is equipped with two identical train of acid gas removal unit via using MDEA at 43% concentration.AGR unit is equip
with absorber, stripper, flash Gas vessel, MDEA storage tank, transfer pumps and separate filtration package

SWEET GAS DEHYDRATION

Sweet gas dehydration is carried out by TEG.TEG unit outlet moisture is 2PPM .TEG unit is equipped with Glycol contractor
reboiler Glycol transfer pump and separate system of fresh Glycol loading .

Acid Gas Enrichment Unit (AGEU)

Lean Acid Gas enters into the knock out drum for removal of condensate and comes in contact with MDEA solution in the Amine
Absorber for the absorption of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. Treated gas leaves to the incinerator .The rich amine
solution is heated in the lean /rich amine exchanger and then passed to the Amine regenerator. Hot lean amine solution is
pumped to the amine storage tank. Amine storage tank is equipped with necessary safety devices including separate nitrogen
blanketing system.

Sulphur Recovery Unit

Acid gas from the Acid gas removal unit pass through a knock out drum and gas pre-heater before enter to the reaction
Furnace. Acid gas is burnt by the high intensity burner with a controlled amount of the combustion air .The products of
combustion air pass through a waste heat boiler where the heat is used to produce the Steam. Gases and condense sulphur
pass through another auxiliary burner where heated by the part of acid gas or fuel gas before entering First Claus
Convertor .In the Claus convertor gases flow downstream through a bed of CR4/8mm activated catalyst. After Claus convertor
gasses pass through auxiliary burner and then 2nd Claus convertor loaded with more active catalyst CRS31 and layer of
AM4/8mm catalyst top of the bed. The sulphur produced in all the process extracted from the entire sulphur condenser through
Sultraps and is routed to Sulphur degassing pit. The sulphur is degassed through AQUISULF.The degassed sulphur s then
transferred to the storage tank.

Tail Gas Treatment Unit (TGTU)

TGTU unit is to reduce the hydrogen sulphide content in the tail gas to a level corresponds to >99.5% total sulphur recovery.
The BSR /amine process consists of Beavon Sulphur Recovery reducing or hydrogenation section .The process uses the BSR
technology to reduce all the sulphur compounds in the sru tail gas to hydrogen sulphide. This section includes water
condensation and separation upstream of the amine section caustic circulation system to protect against so2 break through
which degrades amine and causes severe corrosion.

Steam Generation Package (BOILERS)

Steam generation package consist of three identical gas fired water steam boiler with design capacity of 50T/H.
Each of the three identical boilers consists of
BFW Pumps; water drum; steam drum; forced circulation fan;
Following control measure are equipped on the boiler

Fuel Gas firing control

Combustion air control

De-superheating water control

Steam pressure control

Drum level control

NGL EXTRACTION
Sweet gas from AGR unit pass to molecular sieves to remove the moisture up to less than 1ppm.after molecular sieves gas
passes through series of heat exchanger to knock out the raw NGL.Remaining gas feed to turbo expander where

expansion take place .

Raw natural gas liquids
4170t/d of RAW NGL feed to NGL-4 for the further process where they separate ethane rich gas, propane LPG,
butane LPG and gasoline.
NATURAL GAS BOOSTERS
Sweet gas feed to the gas turbine driven centrifugal compressor to increase the pressure up to 45 bars for
domestic use of the neighbor industry and completes the fuel gas requirement of NGL complex. Remaining gas is
pressurized up to 110 bar and injected back at a depleted well to be use at a future .
UTILITY
NGL complex has its own utility including fire water network, instrument and plant air, steam boiler, Demin water
plant and waste water treatment plant.
