Plate coalescers are skim tanks or vessels that use internal plates to improve the gravity separation process. Various configurations of plate coalescers have been devised.…
To calculate the heat duty it must be remembered that the pressure drop through the choke is instantaneous. That is, no heat is absorbed or…
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.…
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…
These units are designed to allow hydrates to form and to melt them with the heat of the incoming gas stream before they can plug…
If the flow rate of the inlet stream is known in moles per day then the number of moles per day of gas flow can…
In long horizontal vessels it is necessary to install wave breakers, which are nothing more than vertical baffles spanning the gas-liquid interface and perpendicular to…
This equation, which is also sometimes called the Weisbach equation or the Darcy-Weisbach equation, states that the friction head loss between two points in a…
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…
SulfaTreatĀ process is similar to the iron sponge process. It uses a patented proprietary mixture of ferric oxide and triferric oxide to react with H2O…
