Gas Processing, NGL Extraction & LPG Fractionation

Displayed problem ?...Click Here

Oil Processing

Above image shows a typical flow sheets for oil and gas exploration, Liquefied natural gas (LNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and condensate production.

General units involved are Oil & gas exploration (sub-sea, top site, onshore), bulk separation, gas treatment prior to Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) extraction, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) fractionation, condensate stabilization, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas compression & reinjection, Mono-Ethylene glycol (MEG) regeneration, etc.

The following flash shows all above in a very simple manner. It is very useful to all engineers who just get involved in Oil & gas business. Click HERE for detail text.

TAC - High Temperature Simulated Distillation (HTSD) and Petroleum Charaterization...


Through some of the visitor, i found this site...This site have some interesting articles particular for Refinery engineer...

Triton Analytics Coporation (TAC) was founded in 1991 by Dan C. Villalanti, Ph.D. to serve the growing needs of the petroleum industry. TAC now services over 150 oil, gas and petroleum companies worldwide seeking high precision, reliable analytical results. Since the inception of the company, TAC has set industry standards for gas analysis, exact structure determination of hydrocarbons (NOISE), and High Temperature Simulated Distillation (HTSD). Sample matrices include crudes and feedstocks, distillates, motor oils and heavy residuals up to vacuum tower bottoms. Since that time, TAC capabilities have continued to expand to also include titrimetry with the highest precision available, detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA), and Vapor Pressure determination of petroleum mixtures.
