Two-Phase Flow There are no precise formulas for calculating orifice area for twophase flow. The common convention is to calculate the area required for the…
In addition to the type description code there is also a shorthand that is used for classifying heat exchangers. The first element of the shorthand…
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…
The principal items of construction that should be present in a good liquid-gas separator are the same regardless of the over-al1 shape or configuration of…
Figure 4-2 is a schematic of a vertical separator. In this configuration the inlet flow enters the vessel through the side. As in the horizontal…
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…
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…
Remembering that the weight of each component is the number of moles of that component times its molecular weight (pounds = MW X moles), the…
For sizing a horizontal three-phase separator it is necessary to specify a vessel diameter and a seam-to-seam vessel length. The gas capacity and retention time…
Balanced relief valves are spring-loaded valves that contain a bellows arrangement to keep back-pressure from affecting the set point. Figure 13-4 shows a cross section…
