These constants are dependent upon pressure, temperature and also the composition of the hydrocarbon fluid, as the various components within the system will interact with each other. K values can be found in gas engineering data books. The basic separation process is similar for oil and gas production, though the relative amounts of each phase differ.

Figure 16-49 [Engineering Data Book, 10th ed., Gas Processors Slippers Association, Tulsa, 1988, Sec. 20, p. 22] depicts the flow scheme for a typical two-bed TSA dryer system showing the auxiliary equipment associated with regeneration. Some of the diy product gas is externally heated and used couutercurreutly to heat and desorb water from the adsorber not currently drying feed. The wet, spent regeneration gas is cooled the water is condensed out and the gas is recycled to feed for recovery.

The family of short curves in Fig. 29-45 shows the power efficiency of conventional refrigeration systems. The curves for the latter are taken from the Engineering Data Book, Gas Processors Suppliers Association, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The data refer to the evaporator temperature as the point at which refrigeration is removed. If the refrigeration is used to cool a stream over a temperature interval, the efficiency is obviously somewhat less. The short curves in Fig. 29-45 are for several refrigeration-temperature intervals. A comparison of these curves with the expander curve shows that the refrigeration power requirement by expansion compares favorably with mechanical refrigeration below 360° R (—100° F). The expander efficiency is favored by lower temperature at which heat is to be removed.

Finally, it is worth investigating how deterministic values of material strength are calculated as commonly found in engineering data books. Equation 4.14 states that the minimum material strength, as used in deterministic calculations, equals the mean value determined from test, minus three standard deviations, calculated for the Normal distribution (Cable and Virene, 1967) ...
