Posted: March 26, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Twister presented a paper at GPA 2008 Annual Conference at Grapevine, Texas on the 5th March 2008. The paper presented the latest results of a third party study which compared Twister versus Joule Thomson expansion (JT-LTS) for efficient NGL recovery. The paper also explains how Twister is able to outperform both turbo-expanders and JT-LTS systems for NGL recovery, without the use of hydrate inhibition chemicals, for gases with varying water contents. The presentation was well attended and stimulated significant interest.

Twister BV Introduces SwirlValve™ Technology
Posted: April 23, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Twister BV has successfully developed and tested the Twister SwirlValve™ – a new gas processing product which improves the separation of two-phase flow across a pressure reduction valve, such as a choke valve, Joule Thomson (JT) valve or control valve. This in turn significantly improves the liquid separation efficiency of downstream separators.
The improved separation performance […]
