Process outlet temperature in an aerial cooler can be controlled by louvers, fan variable speed drives, blade pitch or recirculation of process fluid. As the…
Most commonly used water treating equipment items rely on the forces of gravity to separate the oil droplets from the water continuous phase. The oil…
Separators are designed in either horizontal, vertical, or spherical configurations. Figure 4-1 is a schematic of a horizontal separator. The initial gross separation of liquid…
Next to sales contract specifications, corrosion protection ranks highest among the reasons for the removal of acid gases. The partial pressure of the acid gases…
In order to develop a treater design procedure, the water droplet size to be used in the settling equation to achieve a given outlet water…
The liquid flow rate in moles per day for a given inlet stream can be determined from Equation 3-17. In our example, for an inlet…
These units are designed to allow hydrates to form and to melt them with the heat of the incoming gas stream before they can plug…
It is normally a good idea to include a simple vortex breaker as shown in Figure 4-9 to keep a vortex from developing when the…
Vortex Breaker As liquid flows out of the exit nozzle, it will swirl and create a vortex. Vortexing would carry the gas out with the…
The purpose of the gas separation section of the vessel is to condition the gas for final polishing by the mist extractor. From field experience…
