Design a Nitrogen Removal Unit (NRU) with Helium Recovery Unit (HRU) using a double-column cycle to process 50 MMSCFD of pipeline gas at 800 psig. The natural gas must be delivered to the pipeline at 1,000 psig, containing no more than 2% Nitrogen. The crude He product must contain at least 65% He with a recovery of 96% of the He in the feed. Assess the possibility of creating a higher grade He product. Ensure you are adhering to all regulations concerning emission of natural gas into the atmosphere.
