O&G FT&C H1003 Jord builds world's largest harp type slug catcher

Harp type slug catchers separate liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas. They are used where condensate volumes are too large for separation in a vessel

With a plot space of 200m x 100m and a condensate storage capacity of 7,000 m3 (44,000 barrels) the below harp type slug catcher is one of the largest in the world. Harp type units are designed to ANSI/ASME pipe codes rather than pressure vessel codes. This unit features a unique pipe support system designed to guarantee robustness in this typhoon prone area in the south of China.

SERVICE C5832 Equipment retrofit, Malaysia

Our customer’s existing slug catcher had inherent design issues which prohibited design performance being attained.

Existing equipment can often be successfully de-bottlenecked, performance enhanced or otherwise improved by simply re-configuring or upgrading the process internals.

Jord designed an alternative internals system, comprising a vane inlet device, vane pack and outlet piping, in a manner that allowed installation through a 24” manway. The retrofit took place without the need for any hot work (welding). Design performance was thereby achieved.

Filter coalescers are used in wet gas service to remove liquids from gases.

Jord supplied an army of 1,300 filter coalescers for a coal seam gas gathering project. The coalescer element achieves a higher liquid extraction performance than a conventional cartridge filter.

Archive F1014 Filter Coalescers, China

There are 157 filter coalescers servicing multiple compression stations along a 7,300 km pipeline that spans China, from Horgos in western Xinjiang Province to Fuzhou in the east coast province of Fujian. The coalescer element achieves a higher liquid extraction performance than a conventional cartridge filter.

Archive E1227 Three phase separation, Thailand

Services include inlet and production separators, slug catchers and test separators. Jord’s design can incorporate a range of technologies including cross flow plate packs, vanes and high efficiency axial cyclones

For this project the vessel material was clad with 904L. Internals included a vane inlet, calming baffles, a weir, a heating coil and a sand jetting system.
