Beyond Guesswork

During a flare release, the temperature of the flare network has a strong dependence on the relief source and on ambient conditions. During a relief of hot gases, contraction of the gases could occur due to the cool-down to ambient conditions. The rate of contraction velocity is accelerated if cooling leads to condensation of the contained gas components.

Determination of Dry-Ice Formation during the Depressurization of a CO2 Re-Injection System

The associated gas of an oil-producing field in off-shore Brazil is treated to remove water, hydrocarbon condensate, H2S and CO2. For environmental reasons, the CO2-rich permeate stream from the gas treatment process must be re-injected into the reservoir.

Incorporating Process Simulation into Control Engineering

The definition of a Control System in Chemical and Petrochemical Plants requires specific know-how with the target of optimizing and improving existing systems and designing new ones. When designing a system, it is necessary to follow some basic steps such as modelling the system, analysing such model, designing the system/controller and finally

Use Dynamic Simulation to maximize plant operating performance

The oil and gas industry has witnessed seismic downward shifts in barrel prices and uplifts in market competitiveness.

Dynamic simulation benefits during the plant lifecycle

Miquel Angel Alós, explains how dynamic simulation can help maximise plant performance and deliver cost savings on new plant projects.
