Determine Liquids Recovery Using Pipephase
Determine Liquids Recovery Using Pipephase
(OP)
If I have the composition of a gas, how do I use Pipephase to determine how much propane I can recovery assuming a standard (or typical) cryo plant? What assumptions would I make?
Thanks for the help!

RE: Determine Liquids Recovery Using Pipephase
I use pipephase to do multiphase pipeline flows. You need inlet pressure and temperature and a either a JT valve that lets pressure down or a compressor and cooler to condense. Specify inlet conditions and outlet pressure and use pipephase to solve for temperature and phase concentration.

Seek out the best process simulation experts to help you navigate this area, as the thermodynamic and simulation issues are highly non-trivial, in my opinion.

I turned the question over to one of our process guys and he gave me an answer...thanks for help!

What was the process guys answer? So it was a flash calc you were looking for to see what the liquids rate would be? If so I thought the valves in pipephase would work for your purpose of estimating.
