Charts and Correlation for Estimating Methanol Removal in TEG Gas Dehydration Process

November 3, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
Continuing the October 2010 tip of the month (TOTM), in this TOTM we will consider the presence of methanol in the produced oil/water/gas stream and determine the quantitative traces of methanol ending up in the TEG dehydrated gas.

Charts and Correlations for Estimating Methanol Removal in the Gas Sweetening Process

October 4, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
The gas-sweetening process by amines like methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) removes a considerable amount of methanol from a sour gas stream. Moreover, if the methanol content of the sour gas is high, the sweet gas may still retain high methanol content and can cause operational troubles in the downstream processes.

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...

Determining Traces of Methanol in the NGL Sweetening Process

August 2, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
Similar to the July 2016 TOTM, this tip will consider the presence of methanol in the sour NGL stream and determine the quantitative traces of methanol ending up in the sweet NGL, flash gas and acid gas streams.

Determining Traces of Methanol in the Gas Sweetening Process

July 1, 2016
 |  Tip of the Month
This tip will consider the presence of methanol in the sour gas stream and determine the quantitative traces of methanol ending up in the sweet gas, flash gas and acid gas streams. To achieve this, the tip simulates a simplified MDEA gas sweetening unit by computer.
