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…
Laboratory testing of a particular oil at various temperatures is the most reliable method of determining how an oil behaves. ASTM D 341 outlines a…
This is not strictly a cut but consists of all the light material in the crude absorbed into the total overhead distillate from the crude…
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…
It can be shown mathematically that an efficient design must have a high gas induction rate, a small diameter induced gas bubble, and relatively large…
For an oil and gas separator to accomplish its primary functions, pressure must be maintained in the separator so that the liquid and gas can…
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…
The question always comes up of which fluid to put in the tubes and which fluid to put in the shell. Consider placing a fluid…
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…
In order to develop a treater design procedure, the water droplet size to be used in the settling equation to achieve a given outlet water…
