ULTISEP® PAST PERFORMANCE LEADS TO NEW WIN IN GAS PLANT COMPETITOR’S TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT KEEP UP
A gas plant operating in Markham, TX processes about
150 MMSCFD through a single cryogenic train. Upon
initial startup of the plant they purchased an UltiSep®
separator to remove particulate and liquid aerosol
droplets from the inlet natural gas to the plant.
Years later, due to increase gas available through the
Eagle Ford Shale they expanded the plant with a
second cryogenic train able to process up to 600
MMSCFD. The plant manager of the facility did not
purchase a new UltiSep® separator and did not
replace elements that had blown out just replaced single elements one by one with a competitor’s
element and not Pentair APEX® elements.
With the competitor’s elements and technology, the vessel did not provide the required performance
and that led to the operations staff calling Pentair to come out provide the following support:
• Fix their UltiSep® to get it back to original Pentair quality working conditions
• Teach the operations staff proper installation and removal of elements as well as trouble
shooting challenges associated with UltiSep® and gas processing.
After winning back the business, the facility asked for quotes for solvent amine filtration and for a new
UltiSep® to help protect train 2.
Please see the following pictures regarding the visit, the blown out elements, the elements trapped in
the strainer downstream of the UltiSep® and the finished product of the work provided for the
customer and leading to new interest and business in other parts of the plant.
