Process Plants
EN Engineering has an experienced background in the design, procurement and construction management of various types of natural gas process facilities. The majority of these facilities have been installed at storage fields to meet gas quality specifications.
ENE has designed gas separation, dehydration and gas cooling systems for the removal of liquid hydrocarbons and water. A wide variety of systems have been designed for the removal of liquids from gas inlet streams, including centrifugal, coalescing, filter and three phase separators and slug catchers. The design of atmospheric tank storage systems have ranged from small to medium in size. Dehydration facilities installed for past projects have included mole sieve, glycol and solid desiccant types. Gas cooling has been installed in conjunction with compression facilities.
ENE’s experience also includes gas treating facilities for the removal of CO2 and H2S alone with all necessary supporting control systems for the purification plants.
Corrosion Control
The team of NACE-certified corrosion professionals at EN Engineering has been designing, upgrading and maintaining the corrosion control requirements of transmission, distribution and storage facilities for many large pipeline and distribution companies for more than 50 years. ENE has recognized experts in all aspects of cathodic protection. We can provide this experience and expertise to you on your distribution system.
ENE’s certified professionals can provide corrosion testing, research, materials evaluation and qualification, consulting and failure analysis. Our expertise is geared toward companies in oil and gas, petrochemical and public utility operations.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE TESTING
Recent security-related incidents have raised safety concerns specific to gas pipelines. Given this situation, there is and will continue to be increased scrutiny by government agencies regarding security issues for pipelines. ENE will help you comply with these regulations at each step of the operations process. We will provide you with up-to-date knowledge of pipeline integrity analysis, and will design the appropriate program for you to meet governmental regulations and standards. 5
