A spiral heat exchanger consists of two spiral-wound channels, one for each fluid. The two channels are separated by a partition, and the fluids flow in opposite directions through the channels. This counter-current flow arrangement maximizes heat transfer efficiency. Spiral heat exchangers are a...
A horizontal separator is a cylindrical vessel that is oriented horizontally. When a gas-liquid mixture enters the separator, the heavier liquid phase settles to the bottom of the vessel, while the lighter gas phase rises to the top. Horizontal separators are a common type...
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...
Certification is a pinnacle achievement for fabrication shops, signifying a commitment to excellence and adherence to rigorous quality standards. This distinction sets certified shops apart from those lacking formal documentation, solidifying their reputation for producing world-class products.
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...
The key difference between a two-phase separator and a three-phase separator is the number of phases they are designed to separate. While a two-phase separator separates gas and liquid, a three-phase separator can handle gas, oil, and water. The design and internal components of...
A three-phase separator is a crucial piece of equipment in the oil and gas industry, designed to separate a mixture of oil, gas, and water into its individual components. The vertical three-phase separator, equipped with interface control, is a particularly efficient design for maintaining...
A demister is also known as a demister pad, mist pad, wire mesh demister, mesh mist eliminator, catching mist, and mist eliminator. It is a device often fitted to vapor–liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream.
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...
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a powerful NDE technique widely used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels and boilers. It involves the use of ionizing radiation to penetrate the material and create an image of internal features.
A water-tube boiler is a type of boiler where water circulates inside the tubes, and hot combustion gases flow around the outside of those tubes. This design is ideal for high-pressure applications and large steam outputs, making it the go-to choice for power plants,...
A fire-tube boiler is a type of boiler where hot gases pass through tubes, which are surrounded by water. It's one of the most common boiler types used in low- to medium-pressure steam applications — especially in heating systems, commercial buildings, and smaller industrial...
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...
Floating head heat exchangers are a type of shell and tube heat exchanger designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the tube bundle. This design is particularly useful for high-pressure applications where significant temperature differences can occur between the shell-side and tube-side fluids.
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...
