DES PLAINES, Ill. — Honeywell announced that Producers Midstream LP will use UOP Russell modular cryogenic equipment to process 200 MMscfd of natural gas at its gas processing facility in the Delaware Basin in western Texas.

Cryogenic units extract high-value natural gas liquids (NGLs) from natural gas streams by refrigeration to extremely low temperatures. These NGLs—ethane, propane and butanes—are typically used for heating or to manufacture plastics, chemicals and fuels. When the new plant enters service next year, it will serve gas producers in the Wolfcamp, Bone Springs and Avalon formations of the Delaware Basin.

The plant’s key mechanical equipment allows it to run at different capacities to accommodate additional wells and changes in feed supply. The plant also can switch between ethane rejection and recovery modes as demand for ethane changes.

UOP Russell’s pre-engineered modular equipment fits together easily and efficiently, significantly reducing construction time and expense, and enhancing reliability after start-up.

Dallas-based Producers Midstream LP provides a full suite of turnkey midstream solutions to producers working in the Delaware Basin. The company is backed by Tailwater Capital LLC, a specialized middle market private equity firm focused on the energy industry.
