4,600 bbl/day Condensate Stabilizer Package

Regularly having problems with an existing plants’ stabilizer, our client made Startec their partner of choice when they decided to expand their facility and solve a few legacy problems so they could reach full production capacity. 

This 4,600 bbl/day package includes an on-skid tower with the upper-section shipped separately and connected above the building roof to the tower-mating flange and downcomers so the completed building could be shipped without fieldwork required. Startec supplied a large off-skid feed drum to accommodate variations in production since the client has significant pipeline slugs to manage. Along with the main skid and feed drum, Startec designed and provided a condensate product cooler and overhead gas compressors.  

Having the ability to troubleshoot, design, and fabricate a solution was a great advantage and practical solution for our customer in cost, schedule and installation.
