    Density of Liquid Propane at -50C

    I have liquid propane at -50C and need to know the density, I found two sources which state density of Propane at -50C as 588 and 301 Kg/m3 which is correct? Also need density of Liquid Butane at -5C. Both stored in atmospheric storage tanks.

    Effect of Oil on Refrigeration Exchanger

    I am designing Refrig Plant for Propane cooling (-50C) using R410a. The compressors are oil injected screw and there is oil recovery, however there is oil carry over into the Heat Exchangers. Is there any papers/ software available to calculate the performance degredation due to the oil film on...

    Pig Launcher PSV Sizing

    Thanks for the reply, the launcher is only filled with gas for twenty minutes and then the pig is released and the depressurisation takes twenty minutes. If you have a jet fire when there are ten guys launching the pig the PSV is the last of your problems.

    Pig Launcher PSV Sizing

    Hi I have been looking into the sizing of an Offshore Pig Launcher PSV. API 521 indicates that I should size using 100% liquid inventory as if the vessel contains gas the metal temperature will exceed strength of the vessel and cause and explosion. The Client wants the PSV sized for gas is...

    Paint Internals of Diesel Tank?

    Hi Hope this is the right place for my question. We are replacing a diesel oil tank on an oil platform in the Caribbean. The Client has asked for the Standard for painting the interior of the tank. Does anyone know of any Standard regarding tank interior treatments?

    CO2 solubility in Crude Oil

    Hi everybody, need some help. Trying to find how much CO2 will be absorbed by crude oil at 5 barg and ambient temperature. I have a tank with a CO2 blanket above the crude, when we pump out the crude the CO2 is gassing up the pumps.

    Noise created by gas through a valve

    I am working on a project which is down a concrete oil platform leg. I want to vent off CO2 through a needle valve. The gas pressure is 8 bar and the valve is 9mm needle valve discharging to a 1 inch vent tube. How much noise will be created? Any help appreciated

    CO2 from HCl and Bicarb

    I am trying to find the temperature of the reaction if I mix 100 tonnes of 36%HCl with Bicarb. I have assumed 80.9 tonnes of pure powder. However I need to pump the bicarb so will probably go for a solution at a lower purity. Can anyone help in trying to find the heat of the reaction. HCl and...

    6Mo or Monel?

    Hi I need to install a replacement 85m 4" riser to handle a mixture of sea water, hydrocarbons and sand. The choice is between 6Mo and Monel 400. The pump discharge spool is 6Mo and the piping it eventually connect to is Monel 400. I know 6Mo has better corrosion resistance to salt water but...

    Equation from Btu/ft/hr to Temperature Lloss

    I need to calculate the temperature loss when I remove the insulation from various pipework systems. I have a calculator from 3E Plus which gives an output in 610 Btu/hr/ft and I want to convert that back to a temperature loss. I have Specific Heat Capacities of the various fluids in the...

    Flexible Piping Insulation?

    The jetty services shipping and the boats require fresh water, demin water and diesel. We also need to remove sewage to a treatment plant. Fresh water flow is about 270 m3/hr (72,000gall/hr)the only reason for the flexibles is to take up the rise and fall of the jetty.

    Flexible Piping Insulation?

    I am involved with a new floating jetty instalation and need to transport various liquids at ambient temperature across from dock to the floating jetty. My problem is how do I insulate (not heat trace) the flexible piping which links jetty to the dock. Services include fresh water, diesel oil...

    GRP Firewater Pipe System?

    I have taken over for a large civil project and my predecessor specified GRP/ Epoxy for the seawater firefighting system. This was to be a wet system and GRP was accepted. The system is now to be a "dry" system with the pumps only running after operator initiation. Does GRP/ Epoxy...

    Diesel Oil "Freezing"

    I am designing a diesel oil distribution system, the majority of the system is underground but at various parts there is a need to have above ground flexible pipes. This is a gravity fed system and as such there are no pumps to circulate the diesel. How do I calculate the time the diesel will...
