    Composition of slop tank at proposed compressor station

    Hello, and thanks for your time and feedback. I am recent graduate working on design of a compressor station that will compress and dehy well gas for entry to a pipeline. I have simulated the process in HYSYS and after saturating with water, separation, compression, cooling, and the dehydration...

    Specifying Specific Specific Gravity

    I am a recent graduate. I am sizing some PSVs for a natural gas compressor station. On the spec sheets the vendor gave me it asks for Oper. Sp. Gr. Since HYSYS is not giving me a SG in the properties tab (other than the petroleum SG(60/60) which I am not sure what this is. The MW of the gas is...

    Liquid Velocity In Pipe

    Thanks for the input. SandCounter- Would the concern for shear come from the viscosity? What would be a concern regarding high shear? The viscosity = .09019cP = 6.06*10^-5 lb/s*ft. I am currently looking into the pressure surge that Little Inch stated. I assume the first step is to see if I...

    Liquid Velocity In Pipe

    Sorry about that, I also posted this yesterday in the wrong area, and I believe it was deleted after a couple of responses were posted. So I never got to see the responses. Thanks for the help.

    Liquid Velocity In Pipe

    Fluid Velocity In Pipe I am trying to determine if we need an additional pipe installed. Is our six inch pipe adequate to handle increased flow? At a cryo gas plant the NGL products are run to metering through a six inch pipe with inside diameter of 5.76 inches. This pipe only runs about 1000ft...

    Estimate amount of gas/liquid in a vessel

    Also, how do I find the compressibility factor Z. If I have the tower conditions. eg. 225psi, 115F, and composition. Thank you

    Estimate amount of gas/liquid in a vessel

    I am a first year chemical engineer I am to estimate the amount (mass) of liquid and vapor in a number of vessels. Here are two examples: 1. I don't have the numbers yet, but was wondering about how best to estimate the mass of ethane and ethylene in our C2 splitter. I was told that...
