A natural gas processing plant is a facility where natural gas from wells is purified. Natural gas plants strip out liquids and impurities from the gas stream and send “dry” gas into the pipeline transmission system for consumption by end-users or injection into underground storage. They also produce high volumes of natural gas liquids (NGLs), including propane, which are used as refinery fuels and feed stocks, heating fuels, and other purposes.
They are commonly found within gas fields, or at the coasts at offshore fields.
