Liquids Processing
- OVERVIEW
Engineering expertise for treating, stabilizing, fractionating, and delivering on-spec liquid products.
Gas Liquids Engineering (GLE) specializes in the engineering and project execution of liquids-processing facilities for oil, condensate, NGL, LPG, olefinic streams such as propylene, purified product streams including ethane, propane, and butane, and liquid CO₂. GLE supports projects where liquid products must be treated, stabilized, fractionated, blended, pumped, and conditioned to meet defined commercial and regulatory specifications for storage, transportation, and sale.
GLE’s liquids-processing experience extends from inlet liquids handling through treating, stabilization, fractionation, blending, pumping, and product storage and loading, supporting both greenfield developments and brownfield upgrades.

Fractionation systems supporting production and handling of ethane, propane, butanes, and condensate, including product treating and specification control.
Blending facilities for butane addition to condensate or crude streams to optimize product specifications and support commercial flexibility.
Facilities for purification, dehydration, and distillation of CO₂ streams to meet product quality and handling requirements.
Design and specification of process and transfer pumps, pump stations, and LACT systems, including custody-transfer metering, duty/standby configurations, variable-speed drives, seal systems, surge considerations, and integration with control, measurement, and safety systems.
Vapour recovery units (VRUs), compression, and emissions-reduction systems integrated with stabilization, blending, pumping, and storage facilities.
Atmospheric and pressurized storage, truck and rail loading, LACT interfaces, pumping and blending systems, and associated safety and control systems.
Facilities for handling, separation, storage, transfer, reuse, and disposal of frac-water and produced-water streams, including oil–water separation, solids handling, and integration with trucking, pipeline, or disposal systems.
- Quality Assurance
Meeting Product Specifications
GLE designs liquids-processing facilities with a clear focus on delivering products and managed water streams that meet defined commercial and regulatory specifications, including:
- Vapour pressure (RVP) limits
- H₂S concentration and sulphur compound specifications
- Mercaptan limits for condensate, LPG, and olefinic products
- Water content and free-water control
- Product purity and composition requirements for fractionated and olefinic streams
- Pumping, metering, and transfer requirements for storage, transport, and custody transfer
- LNG conditioning requirements, including methane number management, where applicable
- Frac-water quality requirements for reuse, disposal, or off-site handling
Specification requirements are incorporated early into process selection, equipment sizing, and system design to support reliable compliance under expected operating conditions.
- Brownfield & Optimization
Brownfield Upgrades and Facility Optimization
GLE has extensive experience upgrading existing liquids-processing facilities while maintaining operations. Typical programs include:
- Stabilizer modifications and expansions
- Addition or expansion of butane-blending capability
- Replacement or upgrade of mercaptan and sulphur-treatment systems
- Debottlenecking of separators, heaters, stabilization trains, pump stations, and water-handling systems
- Vapour recovery additions to reduce emissions and product losses
- Upgrades to pumping, LACT systems, control systems, safety systems, and loading facilities
These projects are developed with a strong focus on constructability, outage minimization, and predictable start-up.
