Fuel gas conditioning
Filtration, separation, heating and pressure regulation packaged to supply clean, stable fuel gas to turbines, generator sets and burners.
Clean, dry gas protects equipment.
Liquids, solids and aerosols in a gas stream damage turbines, engines, compressors and burners. A gas skid removes them before they reach the equipment.
Pressure vessels are our trade.
Lemico builds ASME Section VIII U and UM stamped vessels with CRN registration, and packages them with piping, valves, instruments and controls on one skid.
Fuel Gas Conditioning, Step by Step
A typical train. Stages are selected around gas quality and the equipment being supplied.
- ScrubberKnocks out bulk liquid slugs.
- Filter separatorCaptures solids and coalesces liquids.
- HeatingKeeps gas above its dew point.
- RegulationControls pressure with overpressure protection.
- MeteringMeasures gas for process or custody.
- End useTurbines, engines, burners or compressors.
Gas Skid Configurations
Gas filter separators
Two-stage vessels that capture solids and coalesce liquids out of the gas stream, with a liquid sump and level controls.
Coalescing & dry gas filters
High-efficiency coalescers for fine aerosols and dry gas filters for particulate, often in duplex arrangements for online changeout.
Scrubbers & knockout drums
Separators that remove bulk liquid slugs upstream of filtration and compression.
Pressure regulating & metering
Regulator runs with overpressure protection and gas metering for custody or process measurement.
Compressor station packages
Suction and discharge filtration packages for gas compressors, sized to the flow and pressure of the station.
What Goes on the Skid

- Remote power and oil and gas field sites
Gas Filtration & Fuel Gas Conditioning Skid FAQ
Quick answers to common buyer questions.
What is a fuel gas conditioning skid?
A packaged system that filters, separates, heats and regulates natural gas so it reaches turbines, engines or burners clean, dry and at a stable pressure.
What is the difference between a gas filter separator and a coalescer?
A filter separator captures solids and larger liquid droplets in two stages. A coalescer targets fine liquid aerosols. Many skids use both, with a scrubber upstream for bulk liquids.
Are the vessels ASME and CRN registered?
Lemico builds vessels to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 with U and UM stamp capability and supports CRN registration for installation in Canadian provinces.
What do you need for a quote?
Gas composition, flow rate, operating and design pressure and temperature, expected liquids and solids, outlet requirements, area classification and site layout.
