Natural gas is processed before entering transmission pipelines to remove water vapour, contaminants and condensable hydrocarbons. There are four different types of natural gas plants: sweet plants, sour plants that flare waste gas, sour plants that extract elemental sulphur, and straddle plants. Straddle plants are located on transmission lines and recover residual hydrocarbons. 1, record 2, English, - residual%20hydrocarbon

On traite le gaz naturel avant qu'il pénètre dans les conduites de transport pour en éliminer la vapeur d’eau, les contaminants et les hydrocarbures condensables. Il existe quatre types différents d’installations de gaz naturel : les installations de gaz non sulfureux, les installations de gaz sulfureux qui procèdent au torchage des gaz de combustion, les installations de gaz sulfureux qui procèdent à l'extraction du soufre élémentaire, et les installations de chevauchement. Les installations de chevauchement sont situées le long des conduites de transport et elles procèdent à la récupération des hydrocarbures résiduaires. 1, record 2, French, - hydrocarbure%20r%C3%A9siduaire
