    Suction drum thermal expansion

    I would like help on calculating the likely thermal expansion of a gas compressor suction drum vessel during normal operation. The vessel is roughly 3mx2m and will operate at 26.3 barg and 43.5 degrees C. It currently clashes with a steel beam and i need to work out what the minimum acceptable...

    exporting gas from a platform.

    Forum469 assumes right. The gas must be dehydrated so no water will drop out in the pipeline and form into hydrates. As the gas travels down the pipeline, it will experience changes in temperature and a drop in pressure that increases with distance travelled. Many subsea pipelines place the...

    Oil in Water emulsion specialists

    Olaya, thanks for your reply. I would be very interested to know the names of some companies that can do tests and find a suitable demulsifier. We have a number of samples of the current emulsion - the exact concentration is being analysed, but visually, we have a bottle of full cream milk...

    emulsions

    I am dealing with an oil in water problem for an offshore gas rig. We appear to have an emulsion forming at the production seperator PCV. This emulsion then appears to travel all the way to the water skimmer. New pure condensate, and condi/water streams meet this emulsion stream on the way...
