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…
A weir system separator is a device that separates a mixture of oil, water, and gas into its individual components. It is commonly used in…
As with vertical two-phase separators, a minimum diameter must be maintained to assure adequate gas capacity. In addition, vertical threephase separators must maintain a minimum…
In many refineries most of theC4’s and lighter are removed from the atmospheric column overhead distillate in the first column of the light end unit.…
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…
This process uses propylene carbonate as a physical solvent to remove CO2 and H2S. Propylene carbonate also removes C2+ hydrocarbons, COS, SO2, CS2, and H2O…
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…
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…
In the past, it was common to direct the water to be treated through a bed of excelsior or another similar medium, as shown in…
Dissolved gas designs take a portion of the treated water effluent and saturate the water with natural gas in a contactor. The higher the pressure…
