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),…
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 droplet diameter is the most important single parameter to control to aid in water settling since this term is squared in the settling equation.…
For sizing a horizontal separator it is necessary to choose a seam-toseam vessel length and a diameter. This choice must satisfy the conditions for gas…
The major cause of foam in crude oil is the appearance of impurities, other than water, which are impractical to remove before the stream reaches…
Numerous processes have been developed for gas sweetening based on a variety of chemical and physical principles. These processes can be categorized by the principles…
All ASME Code vessels are inspected by an approved Code inspector. The manufacturer will supply Code papers signed by the inspector. The nameplate on the…
Federal regulations and most authorities having jurisdiction require that “free oil” be removed from deck drainage prior to disposal. It is extremely difficult to predict…
The iron sponge process uses the chemical reaction of ferric oxide with H2S to sweeten gas streams. This process is applied to gases with low…
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…
