Global Nitrogen Rejection Units Market 2023 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Nitrogen Rejection Units market size was valued at USD 1761.6 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 2650.5 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 6.0% during review period.

Nitrogen Rejection Unit (NRU) separates and vents Nitrogen (N2) to the atmosphere, while returning recovered hydrocarbon streams to the main liquefaction process or routing to fuel.

A Nitrogen Rejection Unit (NRU) is a critical piece of infrastructure in natural gas processing. It is used to remove nitrogen from natural gas to meet pipeline specifications or to improve the heating value of the gas. Most pipeline standards require that natural gas contain less than 4% nitrogen. High-nitrogen natural gas is essentially stranded, as it cannot feasibly be transported through pipelines to market. If there is too much nitrogen present in a pipeline, there is a danger of vapor lock or poor combustion. Nitrogen is non-combustible and dilutes the heating value of natural gas, so its removal increases the quality and value of the gas.

Global 5 largest manufacturers of Nitrogen Rejection Unit are Chart Industries, ConocoPhillips and Linde Engineering, which make up over 50%.

North America is the largest market, holding a share over 45%.

There are two types of technology used in the natural gas industry to remove nitrogen from natural gas streams, including Warm Nitrogen Rejection Units and Cold Nitrogen Rejection Units. The leading type is Cold Nitrogen Rejection Unit, with a market share over 70%.

In terms of application, Nitrogen Rejection Unit is mainly used in raw natural gas and renewable natural gas. The largest segment is renewable natural gas, accounting for nearly 70%.
