GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase: rich/lean feed composition
Civil Engineering.

Here is the context:

The recondenser and associated lines are designed for the 10-mtpa phase. The RICH FEED COMPOSITION(Nigeria) which requires the highest liquid flow rate for the recondensation is used for recondenser sizing.

The LEAN FEED COMPOSITION is used for the design of vaporisers. This composition gives the maximum duty on vaporizer.

I translated it as "composición de abastecimiento rica/pobre" but I don't like it and I don't even know what it is. Any ideas??

Thanx!

alimentación rica/pobre en...
Explanation:
I prefer to use alimentación in this context, but it would be good to know in what it is rich or poor. Being from Nigeria, an oil producing country, it would be good to know if it refers to oil dehydration installations, or if it has to do with energy generation.
Rica/pobre en...
Sal? (salt)
Petróleo? (oil)
Sales? (salt)
More context would be useful.

Lamentablemente, estos dos párrafos son los únicos en los que aparece la expresión y este es todo el contexto.
