A method and mobile system for cleaning dirty gas from a newly stimulated
gas well. The entire system is supported on a trailer or other mobile
support so that it can be driven from well site to well site for
short-term, post-stimulation use only. The system comprises a gas
separator, such as a membrane separator. The system also includes a
pretreatment assembly for preparing the gas for the gas separator. The
pretreatment assembly may include separators, a heater, a guard vessel
and a polishing filter. A chiller or heat exchanger cools the treated gas
to a marketable temperature. A generator and a hydraulics plant provide
power to the system. Each mobile system will be designed to treat gases
with widely different operating conditions varying from well to well.
