Next to sales contract specifications, corrosion protection ranks highest among the reasons for the removal of acid gases. The partial pressure of the acid gases…
Because of the multicomponent nature of the produced fluid, the higher the pressure at which the initial separation occurs, the more liquid will be obtained…
Figure 5-3 shows an alternate configuration known as a “bucket and weir” design. This design eliminates the need for a liquid interface controller. Both the…
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…
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.…
This property of a fluid indicates its resistance to flow. It is a dynamic property, in that it can be measured only when the fluid…
There are usually two naphtha cuts produced from most crude. These are: Light naphtha (sometimes called light gasoline) Heavy naphtha. Both these streams are the…
Licensed by Shell the Sulfinol® process combines the properties of a physical and a chemical solvent. The Sulfinol solution consists of a mixture of sulfolane…
The first form of a plate coalescer was the parallel plate interceptor (PPI). This involved installing a series of plates parallel to the longitudinal axis…
In every system substances that show up as “oil” in the laboratory test procedure will be dissolved in the water. This is especially true where…
