Glycol dehydration processes utilize glycol solvents to remove water from wet natural gas to meet pipeline quality specifications or condition the gas for condensate liquids removal.
When it comes to industrial boilers, cutting corners isn't just risky—it’s illegal. Code compliance isn’t a formality; it’s a matter of safety, liability, and operational approval.
Depending on the specific application and the vapor-liquid mixture being separated, two-phase vessels can be oriented vertically or horizontally. In their simplest form, they are an empty tank that are used to reduce the velocity of a fluid on entry, thus allowing the liquid...
The ASME® B31.1 Code for Power Piping is a widely recognized standard that provides guidelines for the design, fabrication, and installation of piping systems for power plants. This code ensures the safety and reliability of piping systems by establishing rigorous design and construction standards.
In a horizontal three-phase separator with an oil bucket and water weir, the vessel does not require an active interface controller. As the oil separates on top of the water it spills over the weir plate and into the oil bucket. The oil level...
The selection of appropriate materials is a critical aspect of B31.1 piping design. The choice of material depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, corrosion resistance, and cost. By carefully selecting materials and considering the factors discussed above, engineers can design piping systems that...
What is a Three-Phase Separator? A three-phase separator uses gravity to separate produced well fluid into gas, oil, and water phases. Installation of these vessels occurs near the wellhead, and they come in horizontal and vertical configurations. Produced well fluids consist of various amounts...
The temperature of the glycol entering the contactor has a significant effect on the gas dew point depression and should be held to within 10oF above the inlet gas temperature. Higher glycol losses and higher outlet gas dew points occur when the lean glycol...
A vertical separator is a cylindrical vessel that is oriented vertically. When a gas-liquid mixture enters the separator, the heavier liquid phase settles to the bottom, while the lighter gas phase rises to the top. The liquid phase is then drawn off through a...
Fluidized bed boilers (FBBs) use a unique combustion method where solid fuel particles are suspended in an upward flow of air — creating a fluid-like state. This allows for highly efficient combustion at lower temperatures with improved emissions control.
ASME® Section VIII, Division 2 provides an alternative design approach to pressure vessel construction by allowing higher design stress levels in exchange for more rigorous design analysis, material testing, and quality control.
A scraped surface heat exchanger consists of a cylindrical shell with a rotating shaft inside. The shaft is fitted with blades or scrapers that continuously scrape the inner surface of the shell. This scraping action prevents the formation of product buildup on the heat...
Air-cooled heat exchangers typically consist of a bundle of tubes through which the process fluid flows. Fins are attached to the tubes to increase the surface area for heat transfer. Air is forced or drawn across the finned tubes, removing heat from the process...
Magnetic separators utilize magnetic forces to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials. They are widely used in various industries, including mining, recycling, and food processing. Magnetic separators are a valuable tool for separating materials based on their magnetic properties. By understanding the principles of...
When it comes to designing pressure vessels, one of the most critical decisions engineers face is selecting the right material. In high-pressure environments, the wrong choice can lead to catastrophic failure, regulatory violations, or costly downtime. The right material, on the other hand, ensures...
