Handling gases

This section covers the handling and use of compressed and liquefied gases. These gases are usually characterized by high pressure or low temperature and are therefore supplied in special containers. Compressed gases may be used for atmospheric control, fire protection, fuel, medical application, etc. Compressed and liquefied gases may be reactants, oxidants, refrigerants, or pesticides. [Pg.57]


As solution gas drive reservoirs lose pressure, produced GORs increase and larger volumes of gas require processing. Oil production can become constrained by gas handling capacity, for example by the limited compression facilities. It may be possible to install additional equipment, but the added operating cost towards the end of field life is often unattractive, and may ultimately contribute to increased abandonment costs. [Pg.362]

Dry chlorine has a great affinity for absorbing moisture, and wet chlorine is extremely corrosive, attacking most common materials except HasteUoy C, titanium, and tantalum. These metals are protected from attack by the acids formed by chlorine hydrolysis because of surface oxide films on the metal. Tantalum is the preferred constmction material for service with wet and dry chlorine. Wet chlorine gas is handled under pressure using fiberglass-reinforced plastics. Rubber-lined steel is suitable for wet chlorine gas handling up to 100°C. At low pressures and low temperatures PVC, chlorinated PVC, and reinforced polyester resins are also used. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), poly(vinyhdene fluoride) (PVDE), and... [Pg.510]

Orga.nic Carbon. Organic materials interfere with plant operation because these compounds react with sulfuric acid under furnace conditions to form sulfur dioxide. There is a reducing atmosphere in the furnace which may reduce sulfur dioxide to elemental sulfur, which results in sulfur deposits in the gas handling system. [Pg.196]

Total Sulfur and Sulfide Sulfur. Total sulfur is predominately in the form of metal sulfate, and because sulfates act as inerts, these materials have htde impact on the process. Sulfide sulfur compounds, on the other hand, react and leave the furnace as a sulfur vapor, which may deposit in the gas handling system. A possible mechanism for this is the partial reaction of SO2 to H2S, followed by... [Pg.196]

In all HF processes, the HF leaves the furnace as a gas, contaminated with small amounts of impurities such as water, sulfuric acid, SO2, or SiF. Various manufacturers utilize different gas handling operations, which generally include scmbbing and cooling. Cmde HF is condensed with refrigerant, and is further purified by distillation (qv). Plant vent gases are scmbbed with the incoming sulfuric acid stream to remove the bulk of the HF. The sulfuric acid is then fed to the furnace. Water or alkah scmbbers remove the remainder of the HF from the plant vent stream. [Pg.196]

Vapors from Hquids can be put into the gas stream by bubbling the hydrogen or a carrier gas through the Hquid or by using a hot surface to vaporize the Hquid into the gas stream. Liquid precursors are generally metered onto a hot surface using a peristaltic pump and the gas handling system is kept hot to... [Pg.523]

Gas Handling. The reactants are often gaseous under ambient conditions. To maximize the rate of the catalytic reaction, it is often necessary to minimize the resistance to gas—Uquid mass transfer, and the gases are therefore introduced as swarms of bubbles into a weU-stirred Hquid or into devices such as packed columns that faciHtate gas—Hquid mixing and gas absorption. [Pg.161]

The work expended on the gas during compression is equal to the product of the adiabatic head and the mass flow of gas handled. Therefore, the adiabatic power is as follows ... [Pg.917]

Piston-Rod Packing Proper piston-rod packing is important. Many types are available, and the most suitable is determined by the gas handled and the operating conditions for a particular unit. [Pg.933]

Information on the liquid- and gas-handling capacity of the contacting device chosen for the pariicular separation problem. Such information includes pressure drop charac teristics of the device, in order that an optimum balance between capaital cost (column cross section) and energy requirements might be achieved. Capacity and pressure drop charac teristics of the available devices are covered later in this Sec. 14. [Pg.1350]

ER = Entrainment ratio (or air equivalent). It is the ratio of the weight of gas handled to the weight of air which would be handled by the same ejector operating under the same conditions. [Pg.195]
