Estimating Methanol Removal in the NGL Sweetening Process

September 7, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
Similar to the gas-sweetening process, the methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) liquid-sweetening process removes a considerable amount of methanol from a sour NGL (Natural Gas Liquid) stream. Moreover, if the methanol content of the sour NGL is high, the sweetened NGL may still retain high methanol content and can cause operational troubles in the downstre...

Projecting the Performance of Adsorption Dehydration Process

June 6, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
PetroSkills | John M Campbell’s May 2015 tip of the month (TOTM) presented a method which allows the users to estimate the decline of their adsorbent based on only one performance test run (PTR) for molecular sieve dehydrators using low pressure regeneration. This permits early formulation of a credible action plan. Site-specific factors will deter...

Benefits of Having Side Water-Draw in a Condensate Stabilizer Column – Part 2

May 2, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
This tip is the follow up of the previous tip (April 2016) which investigated the benefits of having a water-draw in a condensate stabilizer column. It will use a commercial simulation software to simulate the performance of an operating stabilizer. In order to take into account the non-ideality of water, the tip will perform three-phase (vapor, li...
