    Can we use sea water in scale clean out job?

    We used filtered fresh water with NH4CL for circulate in Coil tubing job, however it's very expensive and consume time much. So we would like to use SEA WATER instead with any chemial additive, ex NH4CL to prevent clay swell(ion exchange), Bioside to kill bacteria, filtered to prevent fine...

    How to convert CO2 to CH4 or C2H6???

    Our offshore natural gas plant have 50MMscfd of CO2 which we burn out everyday. I heard about CO2 can be converted back to CH4 or C2H6 by using H2, heat and some catalyst. I wonder that is it practical or economical? I know H2 is much expensive, so can we obtain H2 from H2O electrolysis or else...

    Problem with Propane Condensers!!

    We have problem in summer with propane condensers (Air Colled H/X), outlet temp is over than design little bit( 115==> 125F) because inlet air temp is higher (90==>105F). What 'd we fix it? I heard there are some chemical that can reduce temp of propane or increase fan speed will help ? Thank you

    Face Velocity???

    I have Air Cooled H/X and I measure velocity at top of bay, is it face velocity as state in data sheet ??? If not, where is face velocity ? What is the relation of between total air flow and aif flow per fan because I have4 fan but multiply 4 with air flow/fan is not equal to total air flow? Thanks

    Flame at flare is blue???

    Hello all, I have question about why flare is blue in offshore natural gas plant because we have various opinion. Someone said because of H2S (>80 ppm), someone said because of CO2 (>65%) in flare. From my memory, blue flame is hotter than the orange flame since CO2 is not flamable and giving...

    why gamma scan can't detect MTZ ??(Samiran pls help).

    Hi, Do u remember my thread about Dehydration Performance Monitoring? U said gamma scan just told whether beds are lifted or not but won't tell anything about density profile. Vendor said they can detect dif density up to .00036 g/cc. I cal from useful cap = 6lb/100lb bead == 0.015 lbH2O / in3...

    ASME 8 , PSV Testing

    We have 2 PSVs installed with 2* 100% capacity (for on-line testing). We now on-line both PSVs. Each PSV is planned to test set pressure every year. If we isolate one PSVs (still hook-up). Can we extend testing period to every 2 yrs? My idea is we can't, we have to test all PSVs every yeas...

    PSV Inspection Sch.

    Each PSV is planned to inspec every year. If we design to have 2 PSVs are installed with 100% capacity(for on-line maintenance), one on-line, on-standby.Can we extend inspection schedule to every 2 yrs? My idea is we can't, we have to inspect all PSVs as sch., but I can't find in API. If u...

    How to cal speed of fan related to air quantity

    What's the equation to cal vol of air flowed by rotation of fan ? I know dia. and pitch of fan blades and vol flow rate of air required but I'ld like to know what speed could be at that air quantity ?

    How to make Adsorption Dehydration Performane Monitoring

    My plants have sorbead(Alumino-silica gel) to desorb water from nat. gas stream from 45 to 0.5 lb/MMscfd (gas flowrate 127 MMscfd) and we wonder that we can extend life for 1-2 years if we can find that the Mass Transfer Zone is enough. Some methods are using Gamma ray to determine bed...

    What is "turndown ratio" ?

    I understand that it's the range of flow ? for example max flowrate (100%open) = 25 ft3/min and has turndown ratio = 150:1 .It means the accurate minimum flow of this valve = 25/150 = 0.167 ft3/min, right ? Thanks Nong

    HOW PPD (POUR POINT DEPRESSANT) WORK ?

    We plan to use it in oil pipeline but I'm not sure how it's work and they will affect the properties of oil ? and what is the efficiency of it ? Thanks, nong

    K ? of best insulator

    In oil pipeline we use mineral wool ( K=0.038 ) as an insulator but it doesn't work well. I 'ld like to know that are there any insulators that better than this wool.

    HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST WAX DEPOSIT IN OIL PIPELINE

    For short pipeline we can heat the oil and insulate the pipe. I understand that the maximum Temp that we can heat is Boiling Point of Oil, right ? For insulation material, I know the Mineral wool has K=0.038. Do they have any better insulator ? Or have the heating medium and heat it through...
