Demethanizer Tower Superload - Lone Star Transportation

[@az80311]

As a Highway Patrol Trooper for my state for 15 years, I helped escort several large loads from one place to another. Never one this big so I give a shout out to everyone involved in the transport. It can be hard and tedious, especiallly when your going to follow a load that goes 100 to 300 miles at a slow pace. These drives and followers really know their jobs. Thank you.

[@Duvstep910]

For those who are interested; a demethanizer tower is basically a tower that seperates LNG into its different components when heated. the fumes rise and condense on different parts of the tower; getting different substances from each section of it. The heavier products at the bottom and the lighter products all the way at the top. Even the extra light gases given off at the very top are utilised. ( edit: thanks to anyone who helped clarify things in the reply section i'm not too experienced in the mechanical side of the tower only the science behind it since i major in chemistry we have to know how this works so thanks for the clarifications and likes in advance)
