DEHYDRATION BY SOLID BEDS GENERAL This plant employs the same adsorbent materials used in the short cycle solid bed plant. The only difference between the two plants is the operating time. As a matter of fact, using the sova-bead as an adsorbent for a short time, we find that it adsorbs mainly hydrocarbons vapors (STRIPPING) on the contrary with […]
Emulsion Treatment Steps Raed Al-Obaidi In general, the treatment of water emulsions in crude oil consists of 3 stages: emulsion breaking: includes breaking the film that surrounds the water droplet, by the aid of heat and demulsifier. water droplet coalescence: water droplets combine with each other after breaking the emulsion and being free forming big […]
Erosion-Corrosion Likelihood – API RP14-E is not valid in presence of solid particles (sand) – It is not valid in vertical flow (even if it is used as well) – It is not valid for gas systems (where no definite velocity limits are identified). – Alternative models have been proposed (as SalamaModel)/ or typical critical […]
foam in crude oil foam is a small bubbles of gas surrounded with a thin film of oil, this phenomena reduces the separation efficiency, foam exists in the gas oil interface when separator pressure decreases, or because of the surface tension, viscosity, and some impurities, because of that, small droplets are generated, these droplets are […]
Pump Course CD in this course you will find all about Pumps, it is a very informative course about pumps, because we think every petroleum and natural gas engineer should know a lot of information about pumps, we give you this course for FREE, and here are its features: Over 70 pumps are animated and explained! […]
Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers Shell and tube heat exchangers are used extensively throughout the process industry and as such a basic understanding of their design, construction and performance is important to the practicing engineer. The objective of this paper is to provide a concise review of the key issues involved in their thermal design without […]
Internal Corrosion in Oil and Gas Production Facilities Before talking about corrosion in oil and gas facilities, we have to define some of the main sections of these facilities: Gathering System and Manifolds Unit – Gather the flowlines that convey the liquid and/or gaseous hydrocarbons coming from production wells. – Send the product, by means […]
when we talk about oil gas separators in the modern designs of GOPS, the designers took into consideration all operation problems, by adding high sensitivity control valves, and accurate pressure and level indicators which decreased these problems to the minimum, most operation problems now are occurring because of bad operation, human mistakes, or […]
