With an abundance of natural gas in the area, Durango, Colorado (Ignacio specifically) became the site designated for the introduction of Membrane Treating technologies provided by Newpoint Gas, LP. This innovative system has been the first of its type implemented in this region for the removal of CO2 from natural gas streams. With extreme temperature conditions at both ends of the thermometer, the Durango area production offered quite a challenge for the engineering staff at Newpoint. Undaunted by this obstacle of nature, Newpoint Gas, LP opted for installing the unitized plant inside a permanent structure. Given the regional difficulties this installation was successfully and efficiently completed to the customers satisfaction. As with all Newpoint projects, service after the sale remains at the top of their list of priorities.

Big Piney, Wyoming (population just under 500) is the scene of the latest Amine Plant delivery by Newpoint Gas. This rugged area of South-Western Wyoming is the latest place to find itself on Newpoint’s map of success. Given the harsh winter conditions of this region (recorded at 30 below) Newpoint Gas, LP has installed its 60 GPM Amine Plant inside an on-site building. Although Newpoint engineers and designs all its equipment to meet the conditions of delivery locations, the liquid amine currently on the market has temperature specific limitations. Newpoint’s customer in the Big Piney area is in need of CO2 removal from their gas stream, and in typical Newpoint fashion they have met the challenge with resolve and have engineered a plant that will not only fit the immediate needs of their customer, but will also provide years of superior service.

Newpoint Gas, LP has just completed a conceptual study for a 450 mmscfd Arsenic Removal facility. This study was completed at the request of a major natural gas company for a system in the Caribbean. The study addressed site requirements, catalyst life vs. capital costs, process description, process and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID’s), process flow diagrams (PFD’s), and environmental impacts. This study, along with the results of the pilot plant that will ship early next month, will be the basis for the final design of the facility.

Newpoint Gas, LP has come to Conway County, Arkansas in a big way setting two of its innovative unitized Amine plants in the pristine area that lies in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The surrounding beauty is unmarred, however, by these two new treating facilities which service the Co2 removal needs of Newpoint Gas customers in the area. Striving to engineer and build a gas treating plant that would meet and exceed their client’s expectations was a challenge in its own right, but supplying plants that were also non-intrusive to the environment was of great importance to the design and engineering staff. Using the latest technology, Newpoint Gas, LP has successfully brought on line the 25 Gpm Amine plant as well as its larger counterpart, the 60 Gpm Amine plant, to remove Co2 from natural gas produced in this area, giving the Producer a marketable product in an efficient mode of operation. Newpoint continues to be dedicated to the service of the natural gas industry while keeping in mind the needs of local areas and their natural environment.

Here at Newpoint Gas, LP we feel it is paramount to maintain credibility in the business community. While other corporations are chasing the dollar and greater profit margins, seemingly at any expense, we feel that profit and solvency is second to credibility in the natural gas treating industry. While this may sound like fanciful rhetoric, it is really the basis of any good business practice and should be adhered too by all those wanting to establish themselves with the community. Some business practices have caught the Nation’s and the media’s attention in the past few years. Given the recent atmosphere of prosecution and retribution created by these shady and even illegal activities, most companies are trying to create and spin new and better images of themselves. Newpoint Gas, LP has, and always will maintain the highest level of credibility and honesty. For this to be possible, each management officer and employee of Newpoint must practice this, not only in the work-place but also in their private lives and personal business dealings. While no one person or company can maintain perfection, they can achieve and maintain an honest reputation. With this in mind, we here at Newpoint Gas, LP vow to maintain the high level of credibility that we have worked so hard to build over the past seven years. Please feel free to visit our corporate offices at 100 Graham Road in College Station, Texas, and meet the management team and engineering staff that make credibility an industry standard.
