Nitrogen Rejection Units

Market Segment Overview

Nitrogen Rejection Units are installed in gas processing facilities to remove nitrogen from the residue sales gas so that this product stream complies with transmission pipeline specifications for nitrogen concentration. The primary goal of NRU operation is to maximize the amount of nitrogen that is removed from the residue sales gas stream. However, design specifications and optimization by the NRU plant packager must be in place to also minimize the methane concentration in the nitrogen outlet stream from the NRU, which is either vented to atmosphere or sold as a separate product.
