1. A process for treating produced fluids that are off specification where the process comprises:
a) receiving a gas feed stream and a liquid feed stream from one or more production wells wherein said liquid feed stream comprises effluent from one or more wells;
b) heating said liquid feed stream to a first flashing temperature wherein one or more components in said liquid feed stream will vaporize;
c) flashing said liquid feed stream in a pseudo-separator to create a flashed gas stream and a flashed liquid stream;
d) blending one or more streams selected from the gas feed stream, the flashed gas stream, the flashed liquid stream, and the liquid feed stream to create a first on-specification liquid stream;
e) blending one or more streams selected from the gas feed stream and a flashed gas, to create an on-specification gas stream; and
f) providing said on-specification liquid stream to a liquid sales pipeline and said on-specification gas stream to a gas sales pipeline
wherein one or more streams are modulated during blending dependent upon the composition of the liquid feed stream, gas feed stream, flashed gas stream and flashed liquid stream;
wherein said liquid feed stream is heated in a heat exchanger with said flashed gas stream or flashed liquid stream.
