Line Heater Design Example Problem

Design a line heater for each of the 10 wells that make up the total 100 MMscfd field rate. That is. each well flows at 10 MMscfd. 

Heat duty for a single pass coil downstream of choke. 

Fire uihe area required and heater size (shell diameter, shell length, fire luhe rating, coil length and number of passes). 

Determine the temperature for hydrate formation at 1,000 psia a. From equilibrium values 

Specific gravity from Table 2-10 is 0,67 At 0.6 gravity hydrate temperature is 60°F At 0.7 gravity hydrate temperature is 64 F By interpolation, hydrate temperature at S = 0.67 is 62.8°F
