Gas Processing Plant — Modular Systems for a Decarbonizing World
The Gas Processing Plant of 2026 is defined by Modularization and Low-Carbon Technology. No longer just massive, stationary monuments, modern plants are built in standardized, transportable "skids" that can be rapidly deployed to monetize stranded gas or support the transition to hydrogen.
Prefabricated Skid-Mounted Units: In 2026, over 40% of new gas processing capacity is modular. These units—covering separation, dehydration, and compression—are built and tested in a factory setting and then shipped to remote sites. This reduces "On-Site Construction" time by up to 50% and allows the plant to be "Right-Sized" for the specific field's output.
Integration of Carbon Capture (CCS): 2026 gas plants are increasingly "CCS-Ready." As natural gas is processed, the $CO_2$ is separated and compressed for underground sequestration or industrial reuse. New technologies like SnapLNG are designed specifically to produce low-carbon Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by utilizing electric-drive compressors rather than gas turbines.
Stranded Gas Monetization: Modular plants allow operators to capture and process…
