Re-entrainment is a phenomenon caused by high gas velocity at the gas-liquid interface of a separator. Momentum transfer from the gas to the liquid causes…
Piping design in production facilities involves the selection of a pipe diameter and a wall thickness that is capable of transporting fluid from one piece…
With the known temperatures on each end of the coil, the heat duty for each coil can be calculated from the heat transfer theory. Since…
The purpose of the gas separation section of the vessel is to condition the gas for final polishing by the mist extractor. From field experience…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The relief header is a system of piping connecting the outlets of all the relief valves into a common pipe or header that goes to…
The flow rate for gas through a given orifice area or the area required for a given flow rate is obtained by:
