    Sulphidation of 9 Chrome Metal ?

    Thanks for the reply. We burn lean refinery gas in the our burner. It is pretty clean fuel equivalent to natural gas. Could this fuel cause van / Na / nox ash deposit.

    Sulphidation of 9 Chrome Metal ?

    Can sulphidation occur in 9 Chrome Metal. Does 9 Chrome metal has copper in it. We are seeing some flakes like deposit on the furnace tubes. These flakes glow in bright off white color when the furnace is running. I believe it might a product of sulphidation. Our tubes are 9 chrome. Thanks...

    Heat Exchanger Cleaning

    Does any one have experienced that improper cleaning of the scale deposit from the tubeside of an exchanger resulted in a pressure drop higher than it was before cleaning ?

    Line Pressure Drop

    Just wanted to confirm if a simple ratio ( old delta p / new delta p ) can be used to prorate the pressure drop in a line for a new flowrate. new dp = ( Q2 / Q1 ) * old dp. Thanks

    Methane Hydrates

    Thank you very much. I really found very helpful material on this web site and moreover GPSA link is also helping me out in understanding Hydrates formation. Could you please specify more about ProII & Hysys? If I am not wrong these are simulation software , how they help in predicting hydrates...

    Minimum flare program

    Hi Steven Van , I really liked your example of the bolier ( fired on excess gas ) but on the same token Sandeep 's option of liquifying excess refinery gases or extracting CH4 or propane out of it is also good option to minimise flaring( by such an extraction you reduce the volume of your...

    Minimum flare program

    Hi DKF, Flaring in refineries is practised as a last easy avaialble option in emergencies. In refinery most of the processes are interconnected , with or without intermediate storage available. For example refinery / off gases from bitumen coker or distillation towers have to be used in either...
