Large scale commingling of gas
Large scale commingling of gas
(OP)
I'm looking at mixing / blending / commingling two different sources of natural gas to give a homogeneous mixture with the 'right' physical composition.
As the commingled stream may not thourougly mix when combined, does anyone know of any equations, rules of thumb, or whatever, for designing for large scale (in this case ~500MMscfd) blending {e.g. are there any equations for calculating length of pipe after mixing if no further downstream mixing event is included. Should the post mix pipe be coiled, ...).
Any advice is much appreciated.

RE: Large scale commingling of gas
If you are really worried about weather or not the gas will rapidly mix on it's own maybe you would want to add a static mixer just to make sure. Maybe just a multi-hole orfice plate would be enough mixing for you.
