Just to follow up on joerd's post. Yes, be very careful about setting the vapour fraction to 0 (or 1). By doing so, you effectively set the process stream to be at its bubble (or dew point).

I would also recommend their books, Gas Conditioning and Processing. I always find that Volume 2: The Equipment Module very handy.
They have 4 volumes.
By the way, do they organise course outside the US? In the UK perhaps?

Hi folks, I have two questions here:
How difference are the design and operation of phase separators for the upstream oil and gas compared to those separators for the downstream activities (i.e refinary or petrochemicals)?
How different is the control system implemented for phase separators in...
Generally, two questions here:
(1)
Are there any more specific differences in designing a production separator for topside facility compared to those separators for the downstream activities?
(2)
How different is the control system implemented for upstream production separator compared to...
I do notice the tendency of engineering institutions awarding fellowships to mostly academicians nowadays. It seems that there is a tendency of fellowship being given to those in the research and development world rather than those in the industry. Just look at those testimonials or publications...
I'd say it strongly depend on the industry that you are working in.
For my case, since I'm joining the contracting or EPC industry, getting chartered is almost vital. Although it's too early to say that I'd still remain in my chosen industry say in the next 5 or 10 years, but since this is my...
Ppata,
I browsed through the elibrary and I can't find any information on the above quoted title. I found that it is actually a short course. Do they normally put it as a reading material in the elibrary?
I'm interested to know more about the surface facility design and operation.
CO2 injection is becoming more and more famous as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method. If I'm not mistaken, CO2 also dissolves in the oil, reduces its viscosity hence easing the extraction process.
But wouldn't this mean that the CO2 would come back to the surface again? And as a consequence...
Ashereng, thanks for the advice. But perhaps I'd need to clarify my question further.
Previously, people adviced me to look at the notice board of the company that I'd be working with. That sounded a good idea, until I've read the comments in this thread. So considering a situation of someone...
Getting oneself onboard a company with an accredited (by relevent engineering institutions, i.e. IChemE) graduate training scheme is seen as a big surplus to a prospective graduate engineer. Having said that, there are also companies which have structured graduate training programmes but don't...
How about the moment when you all just started to enter the job world last time (i.e. took up a graduate position) and had to relocate? Considering that you may not have known anyone at the new city or town at that time, surely it would have been impossible to find a flat share with non fellow...
For the 'Production' side of E&P,
You can read Surface Production Operations. There are 2 volumes; 1st is on oil handling facilities, and 2nd is on gas handling facilities.
Another good book is 'Petroleum and Gas Field Processing'. It illustrates very simple and structured calculation approach...
