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…
Most oil-treating equipment relies on gravity to separate water droplets from the oil continuous phase, because water droplets are heavier than the volume of oil…
The choice of separator operating pressures in a multistage system is large. For large facilities many options should be investigated before a final choice is…
One method of assuring that hydrates do not form is to assure that the amount of water vapor in the gas is always less than…
The first step in choosing a water treating system is to characterize the influent water streams. It is necessary to know both the oil concentration…
The gravity settling devices previously discussed make use of closely spaced internals to reduce the distance an oil droplet must rise to meet a coalescing…
A fixed bed of solid particles can be used to remove acid gases either through chemical reactions or ionic bonding. Typically, in solid bed absorption…
Direct-fired combustion equipment is that in which the flame and/or products of combustion are used to achieve the desired result by radiation and convection. Common…
SulfaTreat process is similar to the iron sponge process. It uses a patented proprietary mixture of ferric oxide and triferric oxide to react with H2O…
Pressure Relief Devices All pressure vessels should be equipped with one or more pressure safety valves (PSVs) to prevent overpressure. This is a requirement of…
