How can I convert SCFH (gas phase) to bbI/day .

How can I convert SCFH (gas phase) to bbI/day .

(OP)
Everyone,

I need your help to convert SCFH (gas phase ) to bbI/day , I'm currently doing a volume balance around a distillation tower and need to covert that amount of the off gas (SCFH)to bbI/day ??

Thanks

RE: How can I convert SCFH (gas phase) to bbI/day .

Unfortunately there is not a simple conversion.

You are going to have to find and review your material balance around your column. Assume that this balance is the normal operating condition. Calculate your gas rate and liquid production rate and develop a "rule of thumb" ratio of gas to liquid flow rates.

Actual operating conditions, feedstocks, etc will effect this ratio. Thus it cannot be used for completely accurate production analyses.

Good luck.

RE: How can I convert SCFH (gas phase) to bbI/day .

You are really making your work harder than it needs to be. The only reasonable way to do what you are trying to do is convert everything to mass. Trying to do volume balances is just going to beg too many questions. It is an easy conversion from SCF to mass or from bbl to mass.

Trying to convert SCF to bbl assumes a pressure and temperature of the bucket you are trying to use. Just don't.
