The image below is a schematic [[Process flow diagram|block flow diagram]] of a typical natural gas processing plant. It shows various unit processes converting raw natural gas into gas pipelined to end users.

The block flow diagram also shows how processing of the raw natural gas yields byproduct sulfur, byproduct ethane, and natural gas liquids (NGL) propane, butanes and natural gasoline (denoted as pentanes +).<ref>[http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/feature_articles/2006/ngprocess/ngprocess.pdf ''Natural Gas Processing: The Crucial Link Between Natural Gas Production and Its Transportation to Market''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110304003407/http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/feature_articles/2006/ngprocess/ngprocess.pdf |date=2011-03-04 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.uop.com/uop-natural-gas-capabilities/ ''Example Gas Plant Flow Diagram'']</ref><ref>[http://www.axens.net/upload/presentations/fichier/axens_gpagcc_2004v2.pdf ''From Purification to Liquefaction Gas Processing''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100115055706/http://www.axens.net/upload/presentations/fichier/axens_gpagcc_2004v2.pdf |date=2010-01-15 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.spe.org/specma/binary/files/5804785Syn10682.pdf ''Feed-Gas Treatment Design for the Pearl GTL Project'']</ref><ref>[http://lnglicensing.conocophillips.com/NR/rdonlyres/B78B6727-E5F4-4505-B9C3-96CC94D7B30D/7357/AICHELNGNGLIntegrationPaper.pdf ''Benefits of integrating NGL extraction and LNG liquefaction'']</ref>
