Hello All,
Would you agree with the below:
In an oil and gas plant, the decision to use an explosion-proof (Ex) rated dual-fuel burner (for gas and diesel) depends on the classification of the hazardous area where the burner will be located. The Ex rating is often required for equipment in...
Dear All,
Is it correct to assume that a wet sour gas with 20% H₂S and 40% CO₂ could potentially fall under Category M (ASME B31.3) due to the high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) content?
Dear All,
According to Section 15.3 of API Standard 560, for forced-draft systems, the forced-draft fan can be used to purge the firebox in lieu of purge steam. Does the API text refer to diesel fuel or gaseous fuel?
Thank you, Pierre.
Hello George,
The mole fraction of H2S in the gas is 10% - this is based on the gas composition / samples.
So, as mentioned above. Multiphase flowline:
6-inch flowline
System pressure (Flowing wellhead pressure: 500 Psi)
GOR: 1500 SCF/BBL
Crude oil flowrate: 5,000 barrels...
Hi Pierre,
I really need your help on this: I calculated the partial pressure of H2S for systems with a gas phase. I now want the calculation for the following:
6-inch flowline
System pressure (Flowing wellhead pressure: 500 Psi)
GOR: 1500 SCF/BBL
Crude oil flowrate: 5,000 barrels per day
H2S...
Thank you, Pierre. Here is the latest edition, the 2020 edition.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=f2ab27f0-ab58-4288-a5fa-97cc4db8a4e3&file=NACE_MR0175_ISO_15156_2_2020.pdf
Dear All,
We have a 6-inch flow line, oil flow rate is 5,000 bopd and GOR 1500 SCF/BBL. The flowing wellhead pressure is 500 P.s.i.g. what is the H2S partial pressure if the H2S is 20%?
Dear All,
We operate a 12-inch oil export pipeline with an operating pressure of 40 barg, and a 24-inch gas export pipeline with an operating pressure of 65 barg. Both pipelines are buried within the same corridor. We have been informed of plans to construct a gas/petrol station in close...
Dear All,
We concluded the failure analysis of metal loss in the hot water generation system.
Root Cause - Chemical Compatibility and Behavior at High Temperatures:
It is evident that the chemical (NORUST SC 47Z UAE) is unsuitable for closed systems or applications at temperatures exceeding...
Hi LittleInch and George,
Here is the feedback from the chemical supplier:
“The chemical (NORUST SC 47Z UAE) is unsuitable for closed systems or applications at temperatures higher than 80°C. At higher temperatures, ammonium bisulfites decompose, emitting various gases and forming other...
Dear LittleInch,
The power consumption stands at 36 kW. Furthermore, please note that the discharge and suction manual valves for the non-working pumps are always kept closed, in accordance with our operating procedures.
