Heat exchangers used in gas production facilities are shell-and-tube, double-pipe, plate-and-frame, bath-type, forced-air, or direct-fired. In this chapter we will discuss the basic concepts for sizing and selecting heat exchangers. This is just a brief overview of this complex subject and is meant to provide the reader with a basis upon which to discuss specific sizing and selection details with heat exchange experts in engineering companies and with vendors. 

A more complicated, but flexible, system has been reported by Blomberg et al. (46). Here, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), normal phase EC (NPLC) and GC were coupled for the characterization of restricted (according to size) and selected (according to polarity) fractions of long residues. The seemingly incompatible separation modes, i.e. SEC and NPLC, are coupled by using an on-line solvent-evaporation step.

Three-phase separation in which oil wen streams are separated into gas, oil and tree water is a key element in producing systems used throughout the oil industry. This anide. an extension of the discussion of two-phase separation that appeared in the November issue of World Oil, describes available three-phase equipment and control methods, basic design theory of three-phase units, and examples for sizing and selecting such vessels.
