    Water bath vs. T&S HX - pros and cons

    MortenA 1. Inlet temperatures not beneficial for S&T operation here. Benefits over line heater are fuel gas savings. 2. I assume worst case heat input is based on 20C Inlet Gas at 190 Bar to get 11MW. Inlet gas at 30C & 190 Bar requires 16 MM (54 MMBtu/Hr). Also above 80 Bar gas is in...

    Chemical & Physical Properties of Liquids

    Dear All, Virtual Material have been developing a new process simulator called VMGsim for a while, which is heavily based on the Carl Yaws handbook. It's an easy to use process simulator and fees are reasonable. I've used the simulator for the past four months and have compared the simulation...

    The link above is only the summary version. Here is the link to the full document by Monnery and Svrcek. www.ptac.org/env/dl/envp0102.doc The authors do calculate the droplet size and compare it against known publications instead of measuring actual droplet size and efficiency. Peerless...

    Automatically formatting separator lines.

    electricpete Sorry for the late response, but any response is better than no response. To answer your question: Yes there is and there are several ways to achieve this. 1) See Excel Help "Move and scroll in End mode". Help "Navigation Keys", shows Excel uses the CTRL key instead of the END key...

    Excel Subscript/Superscript Macro

    bltseattle You can cut down the 4 clicks to 1 click, if you use the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + 1", which brings up the "Format Cells" box. You may have to select the "Font" tab, which is 2 clicks, but you only have to do this once, if you repeat this often. This shortcut is a keeper [bigsmile]...

Express in $$$$ in lost fuel gas cost on an annual basis (work with large $$$) to generate the steam lost thru the relief valves. To do this estimate how much each PSV reliefs...

    How to stop recursive calls on Click Event

    Thanks dsi, this works like a charm. I was looking for ways the disable the Click EVENT, but this trick works very nicely. Also, the FOR loop works nice as I was stumped by that fact that you need to access check boxes indirectly as Control property. This does not seem intuitive to me. You...

    How to stop recursive calls on Click Event

    I've developed a VB macro display a form to quickly hide and unhide columns in a large sheet. The value of the check box is toggled to TRUE or FALSE for each column. A FOR loop then shows or hides each column in the sheet. The code for Hide/Unhiding a single column works fine, ' Hide/Unhide a...

    Water Saturation at low temperatures & high temperatures

    Mrepp A word of caution here using Hysys and the hydrate prediction model. Your dewpoint temperature of -60°F is not in the range of the model as the temperature is far below the freezing point. On a previous project with high 22% H2S content at 1,000 Psig and 95°F the hydrate model found two...

    Simple C5+ recovery

    Hi, JoeNava Since your are in an area with remote area, you may want to consider a silica gel adsorption process using Sorbead to remove the excess C5+. It's an outdated process, but with no large utilities in the area it may be the way to go. A HC dewpoint of -10°C is achievable depending on...

    PLOTING LARGE DATA

    Mitch, Treat the file as a standalone data file and read the file using the VB "OPEN" statement as a text, binary or perhaps random file, depending on your file format. From this point onward you can do whatever want as you read the file one line or record at a time. The following...
