New or alternative technologies (e.g., inline / compact separation, membranes, etc.) can offer advantages over traditional processing equipment in terms of overall cost, size, performance, and/or reliability. Some of these technologies have been successful in specific applications for the oil and gas industry, and this session will also explore what has limited the widespread use of those technologies or how industry may close those gaps.
