Before the vessel fabrication can proceed, the fabricator will develop complete drawings and have these drawings approved by the representative of the engineering firm and/or…
In specifying the size of a treater, it is necessary to determine the diameter (d), length or height of the coalescing section (Leff or h),…
The maximum and minimum design temperatures for a vessel will determine the maximum allowable stress value permitted for the material to be used in the…
In the gravity settling section the liquid drops will settle at a velocity determined by equating the gravity force on the drop with the drag…
A gas-processing plant, is designed to recover ethane, propane, butane, and other natural gas liquids from the gas stream. A condensate stabilizer also recovers some…
Head Bernoulli is a term that refers to the total energy of a fluid at a given point in a steady flow system. It consists…
The maximum allowable stress values to be used in the calculation of the vessel’s wall thickness are given in the ASME Code for many different…
This equation, which is also sometimes called the Weisbach equation or the Darcy-Weisbach equation, states that the friction head loss between two points in a…
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…
It can be shown mathematically that an efficient design must have a high gas induction rate, a small diameter induced gas bubble, and relatively large…
