There is usually space in overhead system for separation, where most of the entrained amine solution particle in the vapor stream will settle out. Amine…
Gases and steams can be compressed, when gas reaches the disk in a valve it compresses and builds up before escaping through the valve. This…
The figure above shows a cross section of a conventional relief valve. Conventional relief valves can be used if the header back pressure is low.…
The critical flow which also referred to as sonic flow, choked flow, or Mach 1 is the limitation point of a compressible fluid flow through…
The back pressure at production train can affect the relief valve’s capacity or the relief valve’s set pressure. The capacity of a relief valve is…
Balanced type relief valves consist of spring-loaded valves which contain a bellows arrangement to keep back-pressure from affecting the set point. The picture above shows…
The figure above shows different arrangements of the shells, tubes and baffles in heat exchangers according to TEMA standard classifications. The first letter of the…
An amount of time is needed to assure that the liquid and gas reach equilibrium at separator. The time is defined as “retention time” or…
A pressure vessel may fail because of more than one condition different scenarios. A low pressure separator vessel may be subject to blocked discharge, gas…
There are three basic types of shell-and-tube heat exchangers: fixed tube sheet, floating head, and U-tube. The list below summarizes the comparison between these three…
