Frames, a supplier of oil and gas systems and solutions, has been contracted by ENPPI and Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel) to design and supply of eight sour gas filter coalescers and eight shell and tube heat exchangers.

The filter coalescers and heat exchangers will be installed at the El-Gamil Plant in Egypt. The El-Gamil Plant is connected with the ‘super giant’ natural gas field Zohr. This field is located in the deep offshore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Shorouk Block, which covers an area of 3,765 square kilometers and a water depth ranging from 1,400 to 1,800 meters.

The Zohr Gas Field was discovered in 2015 and the goal of ENI, the operator of the field, is to start production at the end of 2017. The field will produce 2.6 Bcfd by 2019. This is equivalent to 40% of the total gas production in Egypt today. Egypt is increasing the gas production in order to erase the natural gas supply shortages.

With the ENI Zohr Development Project now on the fast track and with the goal to start production at the end of 2017, there is a need to supply the filter coalescers and heat exchangers within a year.

Gas filter coalescers are applied in gas streams that require very low liquid content. Frames provides gas filter coalescers with a high efficiency for the removal of very small liquid droplets. Frames is able to combine this technique together with the upstream scrubber vessel, thereby resulting in the optimization of the required plot space and reduced investment costs. Furthermore, gas filter coalescers can be equipped with internals that remove solid particles to provide a complete separation solution.

Shell and tube heat exchangers are applied in fluid streams (gas/oil/water) that require cooling, condensing, heating, or evaporation. Frames’ proven units reduce energy consumption and operational costs by efficiently transferring heat from one medium to another. The Frames Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are designed according to TEMA and API660, and are used in different industries for onshore and offshore applications.
