Gas Processing Solutions
The golden age of gas
Experts agree that by 2035 global gas use will rise by more than 50 percent and account
for more than one-quarter of energy demand. In order to prepare for this future, it is vital to
develop existing, proven reserves as well as to tap into the world’s vast unconventional
gas and oil resources.
UOP is committed to continually developing new technologies to condition, treat and

upgrade natural gas to enable our customers to monetize gas for global opportunities.
The development of unconventional, remote and sub-quality gas resources are especially
critical to contributing to the world’s natural gas supply. As a global leader in gas processing
technologies, UOP continues to create world-class solutions to help meet global demand.
UOP’s gas processing solutions focus on contaminant removal and hydrocarbon

management. Our offerings have been optimized for a number of gas processing applications:
onshore and offshore natural gas conditioning, treating and NGL recovery; liquefied
natural gas (LNG) pretreatment and synthesis gas purification. UOP offers a range of
flexible, advanced solutions to address processing needs, from straightforward single-unit
operation, to highly integrated, multiple technology operations. All of these solutions can
be provided as packaged modular equipment through the UOP Russell product line.
