Condensate
Condensate is a generic term used to describe a variety of very low-density, very low-viscosity, liquid hydrocarbons that typically occur along with natural gas. Condensates can exist separately from crude oil or combined with it.

What is condensate used for?
Because condensate is typically liquid in ambient conditions and also has very low viscosity, condensate is often used to dilute highly viscous heavier oils that cannot otherwise be efficiently transported via pipelines. In particular, condensate is frequently mixed with bitumen from oil sands to create dilbit.
What is condensate process?
The condensation process is the reverse of the boiling process and involves the change of a vapor phase to a liquid phase. Just as liquid superheat is required to induce the nucleation of bubbles in boiling, vapor subcooling is required to induce the nucleation of droplets in condensation.
What is the meaning of condensate?
A product of condensation. especially : a liquid obtained by condensation of a gas or vapor.
What are the different types of condensate?
Most condensate is a mixed stream of natural gas liquids that include ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and pentane.
What is the function of the condensate?
Because condensates of the same composition can interact and fuse with each other, if they are tethered to specific regions of the genome, condensates can be used to alter the spatial organization of the genome, which can have effects on gene expression.
What is the importance of condensate?
Condensate is an excellent source of feed water as it is relatively pure (compared to most water supplies) being condensed water vapor. Condensate can also be used as the hot process water to use the enthalpy for heating coils or heat exchange units.
What is the material of condensate?
Condensate is a mixture of light liquid hydrocarbons, similar to a very light (high API) crude oil. It is typically separated out of a natural gas stream at the point of production (field separation) when the temperature and pressure of the gas is dropped to atmospheric conditions.
What are the uses of condensates?
Condensates are used as refinery feedstocks for the manufacture of products such as petrol (gasoline), jet fuel, diesel and heating fuels. Some condensates, particularly those with a high paraffin content, are used for the manufacture of ethylene.
