Specialty solvents developed to treat natural gas liquids
UCARSOL LL specialty solvents are the latest addition to the UCARSOL line of specialty amines.
The solvents are designed for treating natural gas liquids (NGLs). These proprietary, ready-to-use blends are designed to help increase ethane recovery rates from NGL-rich gas streams.
The firm says its solvents offer CO2 removal capabilities over standard gas processing methods, including:
• Benefits for new designs—reduced capital expenditures, increased energy savings.
• Benefits for existing units (retrofit)—higher ethane recovery rates, meet lower CO2 specifications, improve energy efficiency.
The company says its product can help gas processors treat NGLs more efficiently—in conventional processing schemes, as well as in liquid-liquid treaters used after cryogenic separation—enabling improved profits through reduced capital expenditures, improved energy efficiency, and higher ethane recovery rates.

Wellsite analysis offered
The new QEMSCAN WellSite analysis solution enables surface logging service providers to enhance the quality, consistency, and value of their mud logging services.
The rugged and portable solution can quickly separate and classify rock types (lithologies) represented in a cuttings sampling interval with accuracy, analytical sensitivity, and textural resolution, the firm notes. The system permits a detailed analysis of cuttings properties, such as clay type, matrix density, or grain size, on a lithology basis. It enables better understanding of the rock properties, especially when combined with logging while drilling and wireline log data.
QEMSCAN WellSite is an extension of the firm's QEMSCAN technology, taking it out of the laboratory and onto the wellsite to get data to customers faster, making it available for decision making.
