Gas Cleaning Uses All Gas from South Arkansas Fields
Gas cleaning uses all gas from McKamie field cleaned by the Girbotol process for the Harvey Couch Power Plant at Stamps. Hydrogen sulfide is removed before gasoline extraction to save sweetening costs, gas is dehydrated to prevent hydrates, and hydrogen sulfide is converted to sulfur.
