Natural gas processing is the method of removing impurities and separating valuable components from raw natural gas. This process typically involves removing water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other contaminants to ensure the gas meets quality standards for transportation and use. After purification, the processed natural gas can be further separated into its components, such as ethane, propane, and butane, which are used in various applications, including heating, electricity generation, and as feedstock for petrochemical production. This processing is essential for making natural gas safe and efficient for consumers.
