    Changing Compressor Arrangement from Parallel to Series

    Folks, Thank you for the replies, good discussions. Here are some clarifications: the flow-rate at the facility is around 300 MMSCFD (millions standard cubic feet a day) at year 0 and it will stay constant until year 8. From year 8 to year 16, the flow-rate will slowly decrease until it hits...

    Changing Compressor Arrangement from Parallel to Series

    Hello Folks, I am currently looking at the following plant design Issue: I have been tasked to optimize buster compression design for a gas treating plant (300 MSCFD of wet gas), during the lifetime of the facility the pressure will drop from 1500 psia to 750 psia(at year 8) and then further...

    Comparing Reg. Orifice Plates to orifice plates w/ flow conditioning

    David, Thank you for the reply. The orifice plates will used as part of a process control system both in gas lines and liquid lines. I picked up the 2D from reading vendors websites. Emerson advertises that their meters only require 2D upstream and 2D downstream thnx

    Comparing Reg. Orifice Plates to orifice plates w/ flow conditioning

    Folks, I am trying to collect some cost data to compare regular orifice plates to orifice plates with flow conditioning (single plate/multi holes). I have estimates a reduction in straight pipe lengths of about from 20 diameter (upstream) to 2 d which is giving me considerable saving on large...

    Hydro Test on Cryo Piping

    you have a valid point. I need to look at the piping spec and find out at what temperature we can put the nitrogen in the line. Thank you.

    Hydro Test on Cryo Piping

    Subsequent nitrogen drying has been proposed in order to remove the water from the piping? But I am not sure that we will be able to successfully remove the water from the valve crevices, welds, etc... I am not sure if I am right but this is my line of thought: "Since evaporation at ambient...

    Hydro Test on Cryo Piping

    All, In place of a pneumatic pressure test, my project is opting for a Hydro test be done no cryogenic piping. Can this be done? Are there reasons to stay away from the hydro test? Thank you.
