That's not really an option...
Typically the gas portion of the piping is coated with a layer of black sticky substance. This seems to be partially organic and partially salt-based. in water, some of it will dissolve, and solvation increases at higher pH. At low pH, it breaks apart quickly in...
Thanks for the help everyone!
My first instinct was that because of the added surface area and much smaller volume of liquid, the film / droplets could have a much higher rate of absorption, but I also wasn't sure if the water would be saturated after running through the gas compressor. I...
Gas flow is about 25-28 MMSCFD. Liquid Flow is about 1500 gpm.
The gas flow is certainly turbulent and I would think the water is as well. We don't have thermo data for where bulk water sits in the pipe.
Hope someone can help brainstorm an idea with this one.
Running a 20" carbon steel pipe about 600 ft in length which ends up dumping into a separator at the end of the line. Gas is, on a dry basis:
80-85% H2 and CH4
10% N2
<2% O2
3-4% C6H6 and derivatives
3-4% H2S and HCN
(Percentages don't...
