Gas Solutions Optimized and Convenient Gas Solutions Our aim is to build long-term relationships with our customers, and provide you with smart, convenient systems that meet or even surpass your requirements. We provide innovative solutions such as the THIOPAQ O&G technology, which integrates H2S removal with elemental sulfur production in a simple, stable and safe process that is easy to operate within a broad range of natural gas inlet conditions. We have the know-how to optimize the process packages required by our clients, and have experience with a wide range of materials. Each product and every solution demonstrates our dedication to quality, scheduling, document control and supply chain management. At Frames we collaborate closely with our clients to put the unique power of our knowledge, skills and dedication into action in order to offer the best possible solutions for increasing efficiency and processes, and for removing bottlenecks.

Frames Gas Treatment products cover all segments.

We deliver solutions from our Frames product family. Our portfolio includes specialized equipment for onshore, offshore (fixed platforms) and floater (FPU, FPSO or FLNG) projects, and we provide innovative solutions for specific challenges. We can help you protect downstream equipment from corrosion or other damage by removing contaminants such as free liquids, hydrocarbons and corrosive components, including sulfur and carbon dioxide. We can help you separate valuable and marketable components using fractionation or condensate stabilization.

We have extensive knowledge in designing and producing high-quality shell and tube heat exchangers and air-cooled coolers. In addition, we supply high-efficiency gas scrubbers and filters to the offshore and onshore gas market. With worldwide experience and references, we are eager to use our knowledge to assist with your projects.

Gas Separation Our clients apply gas scrubbers, gas filters and slug catchers for removal of entrained liquids and/or solids for offshore and onshore facilities. The treated gas can be used as fuel gas, lift gas or export gas. In order to meet stringent process guarantees, we design solutions that enhance the separation performance required for further gas treatment.

Gas Dehydration Natural, associated or other produced gas does not automatically meet the client’s transportation or storage specifications. Frames offers a wide range of products for the treatment of gases. We specialize in the following gas treatment packages for removal of entrained and dissolved water: glycol-based dehydration and molecular sieve-based dehydration.

Glycol TEG Dehydration Package

Dew Point Control Depending on the required dew point depression for multiple components, Frames can also provide a low-temperature separation or silica gel-based dew point control package or a combination of these technologies. Each technology has its own specific advantages and limitations. Frames always strives to find the right balance between CAPEX and OPEX.

LTS Package

Hydrate Inhibition Due to the combination of low temperatures and high pressure levels, hydrate formation is likely to occur in several types of gas streams.

Frames has a long track record in the prevention of hydrate formation.

To this end, costly chemicals called hydrate inhibitors are introduced into the production flow. The combination of field experience and process simulation enables us to select the most suitable inhibitor and determine the required amounts to be injected. Commonly applied inhibitors include monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and methanol (MeOH).

After having served their purpose, the valuable inhibitors are reused.

MEG Regeneration Package

Various methods are available for recovering the inhibitors, depending on the specific chemical used and the amount of water and/or salts expected.

Light Hydrocarbon Recovery Hydrocarbon liquids originating from the treatment of natural gas streams were once considered a waste byproduct stream and were consequently flared off. However, modern operating companies have become more aware of the environmental and commercial benefits of treating this byproduct stream. Depending on the stream properties, Frames is able to offer two technologies for the recovery of these valuable byproducts: condensate stabilization and fractionation.

Condensate Stabilization Skid

Fuel Gas Treatment Fuel gas conditioning systems are used for the treatment of raw production gas. They are designed to deliver clean, treated gas, which is necessary for gas-driven equipment such as turbines and generators. The treated gas can also be used as seal gas, blanketing gas or utility gas. Fuel gas conditioning systems are commonly referred to as fuel gas skids, fuel gas systems or fuel gas filtration and heating packages.

Medium-Pressure Package with Tubing and Piping

Gas Sweetening (H2S & CO2) Frames offers a wide range of gas sweetening systems and solutions, including conventional technologies, our own technologies, and various licensed technologies. Being technology and supplier independent, we always strive to select the best possible solutions. This broad spectrum, along with our extensive expertise, enables us to recommend the most suitable solution or combination for every specific requirement. All of Frames’ systems, including amine, membrane, molecular sieve, solid bed scavenger or THIOPAQ O&G technology, can be manufactured to your specific specifications and requirements.

Gas Sweetening Package

Sustainability With an increasing focus on environmental protection and sustainable technologies, the demand for cleaner hydrocarbon recovery is growing rapidly. We specialize in supplying technologies and products that eliminate aromatics, clean wastewater and reduce environmental impact. Our compact and highly efficient designs also reduce the use of natural resources, energy and maintenance, increasing sustainability.

Health, Safety, Environment & Quality All of our assets, including personnel and equipment, comply with requirements stipulated by our Health, Safety, Environment and Quality department. At Frames we are certified according to international standards such as ISO 9001:2008 and OHSAS 18001:2007, as well as numerous national regulations.

By applying these guidelines we not only protect our employees, contractors and customers, but minimize unforeseen problems during engineering, manufacturing, production, installation and commissioning. In order to guarantee the highest-quality products, final manufacturing is done at a Frames facility or under our supervision on location.

With 16 international offices and suppliers worldwide we are able to meet customer demands and local content requirements.
