A bed of random packing typically consists of a bed support (typically a gas injection support plate) upon which pieces of packing material are randomly…
Knowledge of the temperature and pressure of a gas stream at the wellhead is important for determining whether hydrate formation can be expected when the…
A typical spherical separator is shown in Figure 4-3. The same four sections can be found in this vessel. Spherical separators are a special case…
Figure 5-6 shows a typical configuration for a vertical three-phase separator. Flow enters the vessel through the side as in the horizontal separator, the inlet…
The way in which the process temperature is controlled varies. In a heater, a temperature controller measures the process temperature and signals a fuel valve…
In the past, it was common to direct the water to be treated through a bed of excelsior or another similar medium, as shown in…
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…
The droplet diameter is the most important single parameter to control to aid in water settling since this term is squared in the settling equation.…
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that relates the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. It can be expressed by the following general…
In large facilities oil is typically sold through a LACT unit, which is designed to meet API Standards and whatever additional measuring and sampling standards…
