PROCESS DESCRIPTION DETAILS(GGS):

The process flow sequence is shown in the Process Flow Diagram (PFD) No
ADB/T153C01001/G00/A1-03.
All the fluids from the wells will be fed to GCS well manifold headers are provided
to receive the well fluid, viz.
a) H.P Header.
b) M.P Header.
c) Test Header.
All the wells are connected too all the headers with isolation valves for
interchange ability.
H.P HEADER:
The H.P Header will receive gas along with condensate and water from highpressure wells. The gas and liquid from this header flows via bath header (E
101A) into the H.P 3 phase Separator (V 101), which is to be maintained at 60
kg/cm2 g. The fluid is to be heated up to 35c before sending into the H.P
Separator.
The gas from the H.P Separator will flow to Gas Scrubber (V 103) at 24 kg/cm2 g
for further processing. The gas from the Gas Scrubber (V 103) flows to the Filters
(F 101 A/B) to supply liquid free gas to the consumer after measurement.
The condensate and water from the H.P Separator (V 101) are received in
condensate Separator (V 104) and Effluent Water Stabilizer (V 106) at 26 kg/cm2
g & 1.5 kg/cm2 g respectively for stabilization.
The condensate from Condensate Separator (V 104) flows to Condensate
Stabilizer (V 105) for further stabilization at 1.5 kg/cm2 g. Finally the condensate
from (V 105) is sent storage tanks (T 101 A/B).
The effluent water from the Effluent water stabilizer (V 106) is sent to Effluent
Water Evaporation pit (T 111 A/B) after stabilization for onward disposal.
Inclusion of Additional Facilities:
Additional facility has been added to the process as attachments to increase the
capacity of the plant.
Addition of Scrubber: The gas from the H.P Separator will flow to the
additional Gas Scrubber (S-0301) at operating pressure 25kg / cm2 for further
processing.
Addition of filter: The gas from the additional Gas Scrubber (S-0301) further
flows to newly added additional filter (F0302 A/B) to supply liquid free gas to the
consumer after measurement.

Addition of Flare Knock out Drum to the flare system: A flare knock out
drum (SD-7) is added to the flare System. The flare gas will flow to the flare
Knock out Drum (SD-7) via 12 flare header. Both the knock out drum (V-108 &
SD-7) is installed parallel to each other with common facility of existing pumps of
(P108 A/B) to extract out the condensate through condensate drain line.
M.P HEADER:
The M.P Header will receive gas along with condensate and water from medium
pressure wells. The well fluid is directly sent to the MP 3 phase Separator (V
102), which is to be maintained at 28 kg/cm2 g.
The gas released from M.P Separator (V 102) is sent to gas scrubber at 24
kg/cm2 g for further processing. The gas from the V 103 flows to Filters (F 101
A/B) to supply liquid free gas to the Consumer after measurement.
The Condensate & Produced water flow path shall be similar to the H.P Section.
TEST HEADER:
This is meant for testing of individual wells. The operation pressure shall be
60kg/cm2 g or lower up to 28 kg/cm2 g depending upon the pressure of the wells
to be tested. The gas and liquid from this header flows via Bath Heater (E 101B)
into the Test 3 phase separator (V 107). This separator may be used to standby
of V 101 or V 101 in case of shut down of these separators.
The gas from the Test Separator (V 107) will flow to Gas Scrubber (V 103) at 24
kg/cm2 g for further processing. The gas from the Gas scrubber (V 103) flows to
Filters (F 101 A/B) to supply liquid free gas to the consumer after measurement.
The condensate and produced water flow path shall be similar to the H.P Section.
INDIRECT BATH HEATING:
An indirect Bath Heater (E 101A) is used to heat the H.P Header fluid Stream up
to 35C at 60 kg/cm2 g pressure. Then the fluid is fed into H.P Separator (V
101). There should not be any hydrate formation in subsequent reduction of of
pressure if indirect bath heater is used to heat the gas stream.

Capacity Enhancement of ADB GCS

ADB GCS is a gas process installation of Tripura Asset currently supplies gas to ONGC
Tripura Power Company (OTPC) Palatana, North East Power Co. (NEEPCO) Ramchandra
Nagar, Piped Natural Gas (PNG) network of Agartala city & CNG stations. Designed process
capacity of GCS is 2.2 MMSCMD of gas, 52.3 m/day of Condensate and 52.8 m/day of
produced effluent water.
Presently 18 gas wells (including 2 wells from Kunjaban Field) are flowing to ADB GCS.For
processing of gas, one no of HP Separator, MP Separator, Test Separator, Gas Scrubber, two

Main Gas Filters, one no of Condensate Separator, Condensate Stabilizer, Effluent Stabilizer
& Flare KOD are in use to meet quality requirement.
Based on the latest test rates of well, total production potential of 18 wells is 2.43 MMSCMD
of gas. As latest production profile indicates peak gas production of 2.71 MMSCMD as few
more wells have been planned for drill in this area, IOGPD has recommended for debottlenecking of handling process capacity of ADB GCS.
As Tripura Asset has commitment to supply 2.65 MMSCMD of gas to OTPC Palatana & 0.5
MMSCMD of gas to NEEPCO Monarchak along with old customers i.e. TSECL Rokhia,
Baramura, NEEPCO Ramchandra Nagar & TNGCL requires daily gas supply of 4.96
MMSCMD.
Under the above circumstances, in order to meet the shortfall of gas requirement at
Monarchak & as per IOGPT recommendation following additional process facilities need to
be created at ADB GCS at earliest. It has also been discussed and decided that following
vessels, pipes, valves & fittings of Sonamura GGS may be taken to meet the immediate
requirement of ADB & the same will be returned to Sonamura Project after procurement
against ADB Capacity Enhancement Project. Major vessels, pipes & valves are as follows:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.

Gas Scrubber One No.

Main Gas Filter Two Nos.

Process Schematic:
Flow lines from individual wells are connected to the well manifold. Three headers are
provided in the inlet manifold to receive the well fluids.

MP Header
Test Header
Well fluid from HP header is routed to HP separator (V-101)which is maintained at 60

Fluid from the MP header enters into MP Separator (V-102),which is maintained at28-29
2

kg/cm .The well fluid from the test header is routed to the Test separator(V-107) which is
2

operated between 28 to 60 kg/cm as per the well-head pressures. The gas from HP, MP

2

operating at24-25.0kg/cm .The liquid free gas from the gas scrubber after passing
through gas filters (F 101 A/B) is supplied to the Consumers.
Additional process facility will introduce after the separators. Process gas from
separators will flow to new scrubber from the common header. Flow shall be
controlled (0.5 MMSCMD) by a Flow Control Valve followed by a FIT. The gas from
Gas Scrubber shall pass through Gas Filters. The liquid free processed gas (0.5
MMSCMD) will be hooked up with existing header after existing Gas Filters &
Supplied to Customers.
The condensate from the separators(V-101, V-102andV-107) flows to condensate
stabilizer (V-104).The vessel(V-104) is maintained at a pressure of 26kg/cm and the
evolved gas flowstoV-103.The condensate from the separator(V-104)along with liquid
fromV-103 flows to the condensate stabilizer(V-105)whichisoperatedat2.5kg/cm and the

evolved gasutilisedforinternalconsumption.ThestabilizedcondensatefromV105issenttothe
tanks(T101A/B)for storage and subsequent despatch by tankers.
Condensate from new Scrubber Shall be terminated through 2 line in existing
condensate header before Condensate Stabilizer (V-105).

The effluent water from the separators (V-101,V-102& V107) flows to the water
2

terminated to new Flare KOD (KOD from Konaban). The out let of KOB shall be
terminated to existing 20 flare header after existing Flare KOD with a future
provision of new flare stack.
