Hi BenNeal, Are you asking us how to design a flare system? This is not an easy question, and a lot of people have learned this from many years of experience. Two of your best sources for information on this are API 520 and 521. However, there may be other references if you are not in North...

That is some good information, Flareman, a lot of which is hard to find in one place. As an aside to your comment about my noise concern, you are correct. Our problem was the wind hitting the air inlet on a natural draft incinerator. The incinerator was not adjusted properly so the operators...

Hi Homayun, What simulator do you have access to? GPSA should be able to give you basics on sizing absorbers and regeneration (this provides a good base for figuring out how the simulation works). Details on how the contactor is simulated in your simulator may be a better question for the...

Hi cctdiag, I'm not an expert with incinerators either, but at a couple of our gas plants we have had noise problems with our waste gas incinerators. The problem was that they were undersized. When the wind blew a certain way, a roar came across the plant, I was assured it was only the...

I have been following this post and it has been a great learning experience. I do agree with most that it is difficult to work with people who work part time. However, I have found that it is not because they are working part time that is causing the problem, it is not clearly communicating...

I managed to complete my undergrad degree working 10 hours per week during the first two years and 20 hours per week during the last 3 years. I did take 5 years to complete a 4 year degree (without coop or internship). I worked at an engineering firm and found it valuable in applying some of...

I am looking for more information on NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-2(2003). More specifically I am looking for more information on the determination of in situ water pH. I am a process engineer in the upstream O&G industry and our sour service refers to this NACE spec. Most of the water samples we...

1969grad, I have seen restriction orifices used in this manner to prevent overpressure of the atmospheric storage tank in a gas blow through case, where the dump valve fails wide open. A restriction orifice should only be used if you have a storage tank where your vent, thief hatch or relief...
