Simplifiedflow chart of the Pledger plant, below, shows process routine, products made, and the various refining steps. This cut is used courtesy of The Petroleum Engineer which, in its February issue, chose this plant at an example of the very best and most modern design and construction. This photograph shows the two Elliott 2100-hp, 4450-rpm, multistage steam turbines which drive the lean ail pumps. These pumps discharge to absorbers at three pressure levels: 400, 700, and 1450 psig. Turbines have variable-speed governors and uncontrolled extraction. the plant the desirable componer of the incoming gas arc recovered 1 the conventional absorption metho the equipment consisting of a sorbers, reabsorbers, gas scrubbci rich oil flash tanks, and a dry-ty| dehydration plant. The distillation portion of the pla consists of three sections operating conjunction with one another: tl absorption oil distillation system, tl condensate system, and the oil pui f>'ing system. The fractionation portion of tl plant is where the recovered hydr IgWEBTA*. SPRING 1955 17
