In modern refinery practice the distillation of atmospheric residue is accomplished under high vacuum conditions in a specially designed tower whose internal equipment ensures a…
For stripping service, as in a glycol or amine contactor , bubble cap trays are the most common. In recent years, there has been a…
Direct-fired combustion equipment is that in which the flame and/or products of combustion are used to achieve the desired result by radiation and convection. Common…
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…
Aerial coolers are often used to cool a hot fluid to near ambient temperature. They are mechanically simple and flexible, and they eliminate the nuisance…
As more stages are added to the process there is less and less incremental liquid recovery. The diminishing income for adding a stage must more…
Most oil-treating equipment relies on gravity to separate water droplets from the oil continuous phase, because water droplets are heavier than the volume of oil…
The sensible heat duty for the oil phase is: where Q0 = oil flow rate, bpd SG = oil specific gravity C0 = oil specific…
In addition to the type description code there is also a shorthand that is used for classifying heat exchangers. The first element of the shorthand…
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…
