Gases contract

Measured in MJ/m or Btu/ft, the Wobbe Index has an advantage over the calorific value of a gas (the heating value per unit volume or weight), which varies with the density of the gas. The Wobbe Index Is commonly specified in gas contracts as a guarantee of product quality. A customer usually requires a product whose Wobbe Index lies within a narrow range, since a burner will need adjustment to a different fuel air ratio if the fuel quality varies significantly. A sudden increase in heating value of the feed can cause a flame-out. 

The end product specification of a process may be defined by a customer (e.g. gas quality), by transport requirements (e.g. pipeline corrosion protection), or by storage considerations (e.g. pour point). Product specifications normally do not change, and one may be expected to deliver within narrow tolerances, though specification can be subject to negotiation with the customer, for example In gas contracts. 

A typical dehydration. specification in the U.S. Gulf Coast is 7 lb of water vapor per MMsef of gas (7 Ib/MMscf). This gives a dew [lomi ot around 32 f for 1,000 psi gas. In the northern areas of the U.S. and Canada the gas contracts require lower dew points or lower water vapor conceniia tions ill (he gas. Water vapor concentrations of 2—4 Ib/MMscf are comnioii II I he g. as is to be proces.sed at very low temperatures, as in a cryogenic gas pl.mi. w ater vapor removal down to 1 ppm may be required. 

The fluidization quality significantly decreased when the reaction involving a decrease in the gas volume was carried out in a fluidized catalyst bed. In the present study, we carried out the hydrogenation of CO2 and used relatively large particles as the catalysts. Since the emulsion phase of the fluidized bed with these particles does not expand, we expected that the bed was not affected by the gas-volume decrease. However, we found that the fluidization quality decreased and the defluidization occurred. We studied the effects of the reduction rate of the gas volume and the maximum gas contraction ratio on the fluidization behavior. 

A complicating factor was that numerous gas contracts, individual lease gas sale commitments, and other special agreements involving product transfers were in effect by all operators. 

An estimated cost of the gas at the wellhead in Turkmenistan is less than US 20/1000m3 (by some estimates up to 1 /bbl of oil equivalent). In 1999 the Russian-based Gazprom solicited a multi year gas contract from Turkmenistan that was locked for some period, due to price [14]. The final agreement of 20 bcm of gas was entered into in the year 2000 with a contracted tariff of US 36/1000m3. In 2001 Turkmenistan requested to raise... 

The compensation for the gas transport over Georgian territory by these two pipelines amounts to 0.17 bcmby 2005, 0.75 bcm by 2010 and 1.55 bcm by 2020. With additional amounts of Georgian gas production and the Azeri gas contracted at discounted price, this will cover up to 60% of the demand in Georgia. 

This is less a comment about compressor design and more a comment about the design of the sweetening unit. However, we have seen that the power required to compress a gas steam is directly proportional to the flow rate. Thus anything that can be done to reduce the flow of acid gas will have a direct impact on the compressor power. One amine design that has become quite popular is COz slip - allowing some of the COz to remain in the sweet gas stream. The MDEA-based solvents are design to permit some COz slip. Typical gas contracts allow for approximately 2% COz in the sweet gas. 

When the gas has been collected, remove the neck of the retort immediately from the water, lest the cold water be drawn up into the hot bulb of the retort, as the gas contracts.

For Stage 1 of the medium-pressure operation, the inlet gas rate is 1000 cubic meters/hour/oven, the temperature 180-200 C., and the gas contraction 50%. Similar conditions obtained for Stage 2. In Stage 3, where all newly charged ovens are started, higher rates, namely, TOCO cubic meters/hour/oven, and lower temperatures, 165-185° C., can be employed. The over-all contraction is about 75% and the yield, 150 g. C3 and higher hydrocarbons per cubic meter of ideal gas (that is, 2H2-1-1CO). The...

Extreme temperatures and other weather events have become major determinants of short-term trade flows and prices on both sides of the Atlantic - but especially in North America - and will affect short-term production and demand unpredictably. Gas prices on both sides of the Atlantic have appeared to fluctuate in a band where the floor is set in the summer by the heavy (residual) fuel oil price and the ceiling in the winter by the gasoil price. For Europe, this band is roughly determined by the indexation of long-term gas contracts. In the US, it appears to be set by... 

In 2007, Iran signed gas contracts with Chinese and Malaysian companies which could lead to LNG exports. 

In particular, the declaration by DG COMP that joint sales, destination clauses and profit-sharing mechanisms in existing long-term gas contracts involving EU companies were violations of competition rules.

Small gas utilities with single gate stations will distribute gas as received from the pipeline. The quality of pipehne gas is not constant. Since most gas contracts are based on MMBTU rather than MCF, the pipeline has httle incentive to sell gas stable in BTU. All he must do is stay within contract BTU limits. The pipeline may have little control over the gas quality. In today s market, he may only be the transporter where the user has purchased gas from a producer on the spot market . The demand for gas components will also determine the degree of stripping by the processor or producer who knows what quality of gas will come from a storage field. There are many reasons that the quality of pipeline gas is not stable. A typical span of pipehne BTU over a year might be 1000 -1066 BTU on a 30" mercury column 60T and diy base. 

These two companies—the American Synthetic Color Company and the Oldbury Electro Chemical Company—exhibited many characteristics typical of the firms receiving war gas contracts. Few firms were large, well-known producers most had in-house or academic consulting chemists with close contacts to either the NRC or Bureau of Mines and many were also venturing for the first time into synthetic dyes production. Rarely did experience and expertise run deeply, but these had... 

For example, hydrogen sulfide is undesirable in gas streams because its level specified for pipeline gas contracts is often orders of magnitude less than what is present in off-gases. In addition to hydrogen sulfide, undesirable components include ammonia, hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter depending upon the ultimate use of the gas stream (Kohl and Nielsen, 1997 Bhanarkar et al., 2010). 

When the product is gaseous (e.g. carbon forming carbon dioxide), the effect is due to the displacement of the matter of heat from the interstices between the oxygen particles by particles of carbon this is proved by the facts that the oxygen gas contracts by a tenth when carbon burns in it (in fact it does not contract at all), and that the heat capacity of gaseous fixed air (carbon dioxide) is less than that of an equal volume of oxygen gas (it is actually considerably greater). 

Contraction Pressure Drop. The contraction pressure drop applies to the pressure drop produced by gas contracting from a large area to a small area. For internal cyclones, the most common application of the contraction pressure drop is for the contraction from the large area of the freeboard of a fluidized bed to the smaller area of the cyclone inlet. For external cyclones, the contraction pressure drop does not usually apply from the freeboard of the bed to the cyclone inlet. For external cyclones, the contraction pressure drop will usually have to be applied twice, from the area of the freeboard of the bed to the area of the exit gas line, and from the area of the exit gas line to the area of the cyclone inlet. The contraction pressure drop is given by...

Temperature also affects gas volume. When you immerse an air-filled balloon in liquid nitrogen (—196°C), the balloon shrinks (Figure 5.8). After the balloon is removed from the liquid nitrogen, it returns to its original size. A gas contracts when cooled and expands when heated. 

A vessel containing 39.5 cm of helium gas at 25°C and 106 kPa was inverted and placed in cold ethanol. As the gas contracted, ethanol was forced into the vessel to maintain the same pressure of helium. If this required 7.7 cm of ethanol, what was the final temperature of the helium ...

In a constant-pressure calorimeter (that is, one that expands or contracts if the volume of the system changes), 0.145 mol of an ideal gas contracts slowly from 5.00 L to 3.92 L. If the initial temperature of the gas is 0.0°C, calculate the AUand wforthe process. 

Gases expand when heated and contract when cooled. If we place the cylinder with the movable piston on a hot plate, as pictured in Figure 9.3, and proceed to heat the contained gas without applying any upward or downward force on the piston, the piston moves upward as the gas expands and occupies a larger volume. Similarly, if we cool the gas by placing the cylinder in an ice bath, as pictured in Figure 9.4, the gas contracts and occupies a smaller volume. The volume of a gas depends on its temperature. Liquids behave similarly, as noted in Chapter 2 in the discussion of thermometers. The volume of a liquid depends on its temperature, and that is why thermometers can be constructed with liquids inside— the liquid level depends on the volume of the liquid, which in turn depends on the temperature. There is only a very small effect of temperature on the volume of solids. 

It does not include particle size distribution, gas to liquid transfer resistance and gas contraction due to conversion of oxygen. The model fairly well (within 25%) predicts the actual conversions of pyritic sulfur of about 95% obtained at 175-200 C, 67-69 bar and solids residence time typically 1800 seconds in a 22.2 mm bubble column, assuming the chemical reaction at the surface of the unreacted core to be rate controlling. For a recent overview on this process, see Shah and Albal [l8S].
