Im just wondering since our pre heat echanger was bypass due to fouling. Why do we need pre heat exchanger before entering Heater Treater. Our emulsion is about 25 deg C inlet and exiting at 50 to 55 deg C.. Can somebody tell me on what purpose it is.
Guys I need some advice, as I posted here before about frequent fouling of our pre heat exchanger. base on my survey it turns out that adding strainer will be good enough. Im thinking of buying a bucket type strainers for upstream of Plate type heat exchanger. What are the possible problems I...
Does any body here got a Online Heater powered by Natural Gas. I wanted to reduced flaring as well at operating cost for diesel.
Please if anyone got a small schematic drawings that can guide me will be much appreciated
To all experts here I need an advice. this Idea comes in my mind after visiting out offshore field. At present we are burning a huge amount of gas to flare. Im thinking of ulitizing it for our online heater.. since we are using diesel power heater. I know it is posible but what factor I need to...
I have been asked to review ,defined and produce a documents for Safe Operating Presure of our facilities... Where do I need to start? and what are the things to consider..it is a Slug catcher, heater treater and water handling unit..
Incoming trunk line is 10 Bar normal Operating Pressure
To all experts here I badly need some documents on how to create a single point of failure. Its my first time to create this type of documents and I haven't seen any one like this. it will be a great help if some one can give me a sample document about this.
Thanks in advance hopefully I can...
Guys any simple calculation here is what I got
Pipe Wall Thickness in mm
Pipe Size
API class Grade
SMYS
By this details can someone give me a calculation for MAOP.. most of the pipe are 30 years old
To all experts here I just want to get some Idea what would be the best design or probably most suitable design for our flare system. At present we are flaring 100 mmscfd of gas to flare our operating pressure is 5 to 7 bar. Current flare system has a seal water type. To be honest its my first...
I'll been asked to calculate the MAOP of our pipelines and risers. my concern is some line have a combination of flexible hose and carbon steel pipe. I can give the lowest MAOP base on the hose rating base on the design pressure.I have gather some UT inspection of wall thickness of the pipe and...
I'll been trying to figure out what heat exchanger will be suitable for our process. Currently we got plate type but we are facing some problem like blocking of some scales and solid particles..that can caused back pressure. Is there any good designed that can be suitable for this. we got no...
I don't know how to verify if our flare system is on the right capacity. with an average flow rate of 100 mmscfd of gas our flare header is 40" and flare size is 30" any practical calculation I can use
Any expert here in handling condensate.. I need some sort of pump that can safely handle a condensate on atmospheric pressure..its about 80 m3 per day capacity.
I can't figure out what is the best possible designed for the de sanding pit. Our current one is just an Open Pit which consume a lot of space and can be hazardous during operation due to evaporation of the gas. I need something that can avoid or reduce the gas exposure in the area. But they...
