    Abstract

    This chapter provides a thorough analysis of the supersonic gas separation technique for the removal of heavy hydrocarbons and water from natural gas streams. It examines the underlying concepts of supersonic gas separation, the benefits and limitations of the technology, as well as the current modeling and simulation tools. In addition, a technoeconomic study of the supersonic gas separation process is offered, which includes a full review of the process economics, cost drivers, and prospective optimization areas. The assessment underlines the promising performance of the supersonic gas separation technology, but also suggests areas for additional research and optimization, notably in the context of enhancing the technoeconomic viability of the process.
