Sep-Pro manufactures Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) equipment and other systems for addressing the challenges of stranded gas.
In many places around the world, pockets of natural gas are discovered in remote areas where cities, ports, and existing pipelines are not easily accessible. This natural gas is stranded – unusable without some economical way to bring it to market. Building and maintaining miles of pipeline or power lines is prohibitively expensive, so in most cases the best solution is to convert the natural gas into a form that can be more easily transported or put the gas to productive use on-site.

Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) & Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Heavier hydrocarbons, which are more likely to liquefy under pressure in a pipeline, are extracted into valuable components which can be used more efficiently or sold more profitably. LPG plants are specialized to focus on propane and butane.
Gas to Liquids (GTL)
Gas to liquids plants convert natural gas into low vapor pressure hydrocarbon liquids such as diesel oil. These liquids can be easily transported via ground vehicles or used on-site for power production and running equipment.
Urea Production
Transforming natural gas into solid urea both enhances value and solves transportation issues in areas where roads are more accessible than pipelines. Remote areas can also benefit from urea’s primary use as fertilizer.
Desalination Plants & Brine Reduction
In coastal areas, natural gas can power desalination plants that produce clean drinking water and sea salt. Our desalination systems can also treat brackish water byproducts from oil fields for more responsible and space-efficient disposal.
