Can a gas booster pump be used to boost hydrocarbon gases? Will the presence of condensate after pressurizing hydrocarbons affect the operation of the booster pump?
For single-component hydrocarbons, appropriate direct pressurization conditions can be selected through computational processes. For mixed hydrocarbons, that is, oil and gas, it is necessary to carefully calculate and control the appropriate conditions. Because low-boiling hydrocarbons may reach their dew point under pressurized conditions and thus precipitate as liquid condensate. The precipitation of condensate has a significant impact on gas compressors.
