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…
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…
This is the bottom product from the vacuum distillation unit. Just as in the case of the atmospheric residue it has several options for its…
Disposal piles are large diameter (24- to 48-inch) open-ended pipes attached to the platform and extending below the surface of the water. Their main uses…
The molecular weight of the stream is calculated from the weighted average gas molecular weight given by: The molecular weight of the gas stream of…
It is very rare that flow must be controlled in an oil field process. Normally, the control of pressure, level, and temperature is sufficient. Occasionally,…
Before choosing a wall thickness it is necessary to choose a pressure rating for the coil. Typically, the high-pressure coil (L1) is rated for the…
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…
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…
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…
