NGL stripping using light gas stream

[askme]

Hi there;

For a stripper column used for NGL. Can we replace the bottom reboilers by injecting direct light gas stream to the column's bottom?. This new stream is high temperature stream and light MW.

No way to answer with the information you've given. What are you stripping out of the NGL? What is the bottom's specification you are trying to meet, etc.

With what you've provided, the answer is 'maybe'.
