We have this problem.
We are designing a tank that will receive 2200 BPD of foamy oil at 80°C. The inlet nozzle will be located at the top of the tank. Inside of the tank the normal liquid level is 5 feet. This equipment is not insulated; only personal protection insulation is needed, because it is not required to maintain the temperature. The Residence Time in the tank is 2 hr. The outlet stream is sent to a oil gathering network though the pumps. The maximum allowable temperature in the network is 50 °C.
We are doing a thermal study in order to know the temperature for the fluid leaving the tank 0 (Considering there is no accumulation of the foamy oil), and if an air fan cooler is needed.
Best Regards
Hianbo
