Operational Inputs Into the Mechanical Integrity Program

Mar 15, 2011
F. Russ Davis
A predictive mechanical integrity (MI) program is based on the following: * Damage mechanisms that affect process equipment. * Rate at which degradation progresses. * Ability of the inspection group to identify and correct equipment damage before equipment failure. Operational temperature, pressure...

The Role of Heat Exchangers In Post-Combustion CO2 Capture

Mar 14, 2011
Warren H. Ziegler
The role of heat exchangers in post-combustion CO2 capture Warren Ziegler Motivation: The overall energy penalty for post-combustion carbon capture by aqueous amines as well as solid sorbent systems can be reduced significantly by recovering heat from the lean/hot solvents coming out of the...

Mercury Removal From Gaseous and Liquid Hydrocarbons

Mar 13, 2011
Neil Eckersley
Mercury is present in many of the world’s oil & gas fields and its removal and capture is important for a number of reasons: * Process plants with brazed aluminium heat exchangers are susceptible to corrosive attack by mercury * Product streams eg. naphtha are less valuable to producers when “...
