Natural Gas Processing Block Flow
This natural gas processing block flow diagram presents the major material paths in a gas plant. Raw natural gas enters a treatment train that prepares pipeline-quality gas and separates natural gas liquids. A sulfur-recovery stream represents acid-gas handling after removal of sulfur compounds. Grouping treatment operations makes the diagram suitable for a high-level process overview, business case or early engineering conversation. It does not specify the actual sequence of inlet separation, sweetening, dehydration, NGL recovery and compression; those belong in a more detailed process-flow diagram. Add those stages when the purpose is equipment selection, energy analysis or control design rather than communicating the overall process boundary.

Scenario
Gas plant process overview
Key decisions
- Feed boundary: Identifies raw natural gas as the incoming stream.
- Grouped treatment: Keeps multiple treatment operations readable at block-flow level.
- Product separation: Distinguishes pipeline gas, NGLs and sulfur handling.
When to reuse this
Use this view to introduce gas-plant material streams before detailed process design.
