Gas Plant

A gas plant is a facility that receives an input of gas and turns some or all of its gas components into liquid components.

The components a gas plant will process into liquid are defined by its liquid component out connectors; by default, gas plants have a liquid iC4 and a liquid C5 out connectors, and a generic gas out connector through which all other components will be routed (unless further, specific gas components out connectors are also defined).

Keep in mind that the Gas Plant does not convert all of its gas input but only the component portion of the gas.

Unlike other facilities, gas plants cannot have liquid and gas out connectors of the same component.

Keep in mind that, since the generic gas out connector of a gas plant will only accept fluids other than the ones for which an out connector has been defined, all capacity limits defined for liquified components may act as a bottleneck; if any of them is exceeded, the remainder will not be routed through the gas out connector but scaled back, causing a choke in the whole system. See further in Excess Policy Tab.

For a gas plant to be able to process gas components you must first define these in the Fluids Tab of the reservoir(s) providing the fluid, and then create the necessary liquid out connectors in the facility Image sub-tab (right-click > Add out Connector > Liquid components).

Use the Conversion factors table in the Gas Conversion tab to enter a Condensation Factor indicating the amount of liquid units yielded by a given amount of incoming gas. This will use the default factor from the Fluid Components Catalog unless you enter a new one, which will only apply to this facility. Rows are added / deleted by adding or deleting liquid out connectors in the Capacity Sub-Tab.

The conversion factors entered in the table are full-featured PetroVR variables. Right-click on a table cell to access the available options.
