Vessel Capacity check & Equiment Sizing

Vessel Capacity check & Equiment Sizing

(OP)
Hi Guys,

Can you please tell me how to use HYSYS to carry out the following:
vessel capacity check on seperator and scrubber,equipment sizing and nozzle sizing.

Thanks

RE: Vessel Capacity check & Equiment Sizing

Abio:

Process Simulators are very good at predicting process designs and conditions.  However, one of the worst applications for a process simulator is to use it as a mechanical design tool.  They are not intended for this application.  Separator and scrubber designs (both process design and mechanical design) are best done on a spread sheet.  If you don’t have one, you should develop one – that way, you will understand exactly what parameters are involved and how to apply them.

Serious engineering attempts by using canned programs is fine – if you know exactly what you are doing, what is involved, and how to interpret the output.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t trust the results generated by an engineer who doesn’t know what equations and algorithms are involved and how, when, and where he can apply them.

Use the Shell DEPs if you have them.

RE: Vessel Capacity check & Equiment Sizing

Where can we find Shell DEPs or similar petrochemical design standards ?

Is anyone out there willing to do some exchanging ?

  

RE: Vessel Capacity check & Equiment Sizing

If Shell DEPs are anything like Exxon's best practices or engineering standard books, they are usually covered by non-disclosure agreements and copyrights.

If you "exchange" them, you are violating those agreements and copyrights.

The only way that I know of to get a hold of Exxon's standards, is from Exxon (or their subsidiaries) for the durationof the project. At the end of the project, you give it back, including all copies.
