Abstract: Gas cleaning is a fundamental part of conditioning natural gas for market. At a casual glance, the separation of pipe line dirt from gas seems to be a simple operation. Unfortunately, this is not often true. It is equally unfortunate that, thus far, it is impossible to measure, directly and reliably, the dirt content of a flowing gas stream so that gas cleaning gets less attention from management than it deserves until it is reflected as an excessive operating expense. What is pipe line dirt? This writer definesit as any substance present in a gas system that is not gas. Generally, pipe line dirt comprises solids, or liquids, or a combination of the two. More specifically, the solids would include mill scale, red iron oxides, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, sand, construction dirt, formation cuttings, salt crystals, drilling mud, welding slag, plug valve grease, et cetera. Liquids might include fresh or salt water, crude oil, hydrocarbon condensate, absorption oil, glycol, sour gas treating solutions, lube oil, et cetera. Often, these liquid mixtures contain considerable solids in suspension.
