7 Heaters: QBJ's indirect fired heaters are internally heated process units employing a firing system in which the standard firetube achieves a nominal 85% thermal efficiency rate. QBJ offers water bath and salt bath heaters ranging from 50M BTU/Hr. up to 30MM BTU/ Hr. QB Johnson Manufacturing, Inc. can size indirect fired heaters from standard designs or custom design to fit client specific applications.

8 Heat Exchangers Since 1983, QB Johnson Manufacturing, Inc. has been designing and building heat exchangers to the highest standards. QBJ utilizes state of the art heat exchanger simulation software to facilitate efficient and high performance designs required for today s competitive, technological industry. Our complete machine shop and fabrication facility is capable of in-house manufacturing to TEMA & ASME codes for heat exchanger applications. Standard Heat Exchanger Applications: Chillers Regenerators Inlet Gas Exchangers Glycol/Glycol Exchangers Liquid/Gas Exchangers Lean/Rich Solvent Exchangers

9 Separators Separators designed for use in the natural gas industry are mechanical devices, which remove liquids from the natural gas stream. QBJ separators are primarily manufactured in two basic styles Vertical Separators are well suited for handling large liquid slugs, solids, and surging flow conditions. In addition, vertical separators require less floor space. In standard vertical up-flow designs, the gas volume is limited due to reentrainment because of the counter current flow of gas (up) and liquid (down). Vertical units equipped with specially designed vane mist extractors eliminate re-entrainment and have an increased gas capacity. Horizontal Separators are best suited for streams with high gas-liquid ratios, constant flow, and relatively low liquid surging. The gas transit time is increased in horizontal separators, allowing gravity more time to capture liquid particles. If foaming is anticipated, predesigned de-foaming sections can be added to release entrained solution gas from the foam. Due to the large interfacial area available between phases, horizontal units are best suited for 3-Phase (liquid-liquid gas) separation.

12 Molecular Sieve Units The basic function of a Molecular Sieve Unit is to remove water vapor from natural gas. A mole sieve unit is a solid dessicant dehydration system, which possesses the physical characteristics to adsorb water from natural gas and produces the lowest water dewpoint temperatures. QBJ has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing molecular sieve units for 30 years and has installed units to dehydrate up to 200 MMSCFD both domestically and internationally.

13 TEG Dehydration Units Water vapor is one of the most common impurities found in a natural gas stream. A dehydration unit is used to remove water vapor from natural gas streams to meet an outlet pipeline specification, which is normally 7lb/MMSCF or less. The most common method used for dehydrating natural gas includes the absorption of water vapor in the liquid desiccant, Triethylene Glycol (TEG) or Diethylene Glycol (DEG). Our standard dehydrators produce a dew point depression of 50 F to 110 F. Higher dew point depression capability is available for specific applications. Reasons to Remove Water Vapor From Natural Gas: Prevents the Formation of Hydrates Prevents the Reduction of Line Capacity Eliminates Corrosion in Pipelines Maximizes the Overall Efficiency of Pipelines QB Johnson Manufacturing, Inc. continues to be a leader in designing and manufacturing dehydration units and has shipped over 1,000 units throughout the world. QBJ has the ability to engineer and manufacture dehydration units ranging from 60MSCFD up to and including 450 MMSCFD and has designed units that have exceeded pipeline specifications of less than 1 pound per MMSCF.

14 Thermal Oxidizer QB Johnson's thermal oxidizer units are designed to continuously incinerate still column effluents from glycol dehydrators. QBJ's Thermal Oxidizer designs are based on a two second retention time and are able to meet all current environmental requirements for the destruction of BTEX. QBJ Thermal Oxidizer Units Include: Inlet Effluent Flash Arrestor Effluent Heater Refractory Lined Combustion Chamber and Stack Forced Draft Burner System Stack Temperature Control Blower Purger Control Panel

15 Amine Units The hydrocarbon treating process includes the removal of contaminants from natural gas. Gas treating or "sweetening" are both terms used to describe the various processes for the removal of certain contaminants, primarily hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), from natural gas or hydrocarbon liquids. CO 2 and H 2 S are also termed acid gases due to the formation of an acidic solution when absorbed in water. In addition to CO 2 and H 2 S, the sulfur acids, carbonyl sulfide (CS 2 ), carbon disulfide (COS), and the mercaptan family (RSH), when present in sufficient quantities, are also candidates for removal with specific amines. QBJ utilizes primary (MEA or DGA), secondary (DEA), and tertiary (MDEA) alkanolamines. QB Johnson Manufacturing, Inc. has over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing amine units. QBJ can engineer, design, and manufacture treaters for any application and custom designs all units to fit customers' needs. QBJ has experience in designing new amine treaters from 3 GPM up to and including 600 GPM. All units are modular and skid mounted in order to reduce field installation time and costs to our customers. Why Remove CO 2 and H 2 S From Natural Gas?

16 Gas Plants Gas plants, also known as Gas Liquid Recovery Units, recover marketable hydrocarbon liquids from gas streams and control sales gas BTU content. Additional benefits include eliminating condensation and the two-phase flow in transmission pipelines while also providing gas with a consistent heating value for fuel to compression and combustion turbines. The simplest form of liquid recovery units utilizes heat exchangers and an external refrigeration system to cool the gas and separate the hydrocarbon liquids. The separated gas is cross exchanged with the inlet gas for initial cooling. The separated liquid is then level controlled to a stabilizer where the temperature and pressure is controlled to produce a specified vapor pressure product. QBJ gas plants are designed to use mechanical refrigeration, J-T refrigeration, and our proprietary mixed refrigerant system.
