Impact of Liquid Carryover on the Performance of a Mechanical Refrigeration Plant with MEG Injection

This Tip of the Month investigates the impact of the liquid carryover (LCO) on the performance of a mechanical refrigeration plant with mono-ethylene glycol (EG or MEG) injection for hydrocarbon dew point (HCDP) control. Specifically, the impact of LCO on the gas-gas heat exchanger and chiller duties, the mechanical refrigeration system, and the liquid propane recovery will be investigated and reported. [Keep reading]
