The area of the fire tube is normally calculated based on a heat flux rate of 10,000 Btu/hr-ft2. The fire-tube length can be determined from:…
Erosional flow criteria will almost always govern in choosing the diameter. Sometimes it is necessary to check for pressure drop in the coil. Typically, pressure…
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.…
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…
Some treaters use an electrode section. Figure 6-11 illustrates a typical design of a horizontal electrostatic treater. The flow path in an electrostatic treater is…
Most companies have a detailed general specification for the construction of pressure vessels, which defines the overall quality of fabrication required and addresses specific items…
The fraction of any one component that flashes to gas at any stage in a process is a function of the temperature, pressure, and composition…
Removing water from crude oil often requires additional processing beyond gravitational separation. In selecting a treating system, several factors should be considered to determine the…
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),…
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…
