Coal is a black or brown, solid, combustible mineral formed by the alteration of prehistoric plant life by bacterial decomposition, with subsequent chemical changes caused by temperature and pressure. These processes result in a range of carbonaceous materials, the first of which is peat and the last of which is graphite (pure carbon). The coals lie between these two extremes  

The destructive distillation (heating in the absence of oxygen) of coal (mostly bituminous coal) at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1200°C, generates a number of derivatives  

Coal tar contains an estimated 10,000 compounds, many of which are important organic chemicals. The use of coal tar as a source of these compounds has been largely relegated to a position below numerous synthetic processes, primarily based on petroleum. Fractionation of coal tar yields the following (approximate temperatures and yields given)

The piping for water, gas, compressed air, vacuum and steam should be laid along the walls, together with a drain. Bench instruments may be placed on shelves behind the framework. Electric power is taken from panels the most convenient position for these Ls between each pair of frames (Fig. 412). The panels have 8 to 10 socket. , each with a switch and a neon lamp, so that it can be seen at a glance which parts of the apparatus arc in operation. 

The value of the compresjiibility of oil is a function of the amount of dissolved gas, but is in the order of 10 x 10" psi" By comparison, typical water and gas compressibilities are 4x10" psi" and 500 x 10" psi" respectively. Above the bubble point in an oil reservoir the compressibility of the oil is a major determinant of how the pressure declines for a given change in volume (brought about by a withdrawal of reservoir fluid during production). 

Reservoir fluids (oil, water, gas) and the rock matrix are contained under high temperatures and pressures they are compressed relative to their densities at standard temperature and pressure. Any reduction in pressure on the fluids or rock will result in an increase in the volume, according to the definition of compressibility. As discussed in Section 5.2, isothermal conditions are assumed in the reservoir. Isothermal compressibility is defined as ... 

Reservoir engineers describe the relationship between the volume of fluids produced, the compressibility of the fluids and the reservoir pressure using material balance techniques. This approach treats the reservoir system like a tank, filled with oil, water, gas, and reservoir rock in the appropriate volumes, but without regard to the distribution of the fluids (i.e. the detailed movement of fluids inside the system). Material balance uses the PVT properties of the fluids described in Section 5.2.6, and accounts for the variations of fluid properties with pressure. The technique is firstly useful in predicting how reservoir pressure will respond to production. Secondly, material balance can be used to reduce uncertainty in volumetries by measuring reservoir pressure and cumulative production during the producing phase of the field life. An example of the simplest material balance equation for an oil reservoir above the bubble point will be shown In the next section. 

As a field matures, bottlenecks may appear in other areas, such as water treatment or gas compression processes, and become factors limiting oil or gas production. These issues can often be addressed both by surface and subsurface options, though the underlying justification remains the same the NPV of a debottlenecking exercise (net cost of action versus the increase in net revenue) must be positive. 

These gases are then fed to the water gas converter as in the steam-reforming process, after which they are compressed to ca 20.3 MPa (ca 200 atm) for processing in the catalytic ammonia converter. 

Single-acting air-cooled and water-cooled air compressors are available in sizes up to about 75 kW (100 hp). Such units are available in one, two, three, or four stages for pressure as high as 24 MPa (3500 IbFin"). These machines are seldom used for gas compression because of the difficulty of preventing gas leakage and contamination of the lubricating oil. 

Consider the continuous oscillations of a tuning fork. These oscillations generate successive compressions and rarefactions outward through the air. The human ears, w hen receiving these pressure variations, transfer them to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound. Therefore, the phenomenon of sound is a pressure variation in a fixed point in the air or in another elastic medium, such as water, gas, or solid. 

Traditional compressor cylinder designs require cooling water jackets to promote uniform distribution of heat created by gas compression and friction. Some of the perceived advantages of water-cooled cylinders are reduced suction gas preheat, better cylinder lubrication, prolonged parts life, and reduced maintenance. 

Oil production requires pressure from compressed gas or water to expel oil to the surface. There arc three main types of rcsci voir drives to flush oil to wells dissolved gas drive, gas-cap drive, and water drive. With a gas drive, the oil in the reservoir is saturated with dissolved gas. As pressures fall with oil production, the gas escapes from solution, expands, and propels oil to the surface. Hence it is important to control gas production so it remains available to remove the oil. With a gas-cap drive, the upper part of the reseiwoh is filled with gas, and oil lies beneath it. As oil is withdrawn, the compressed gas expands downward, pushing oil to the well bore. As with a dissolved gas drive, gas production from the gas cap should be restricted to maintain reservoir pressure to expel the oil. Finally, with a water drive, the oil lies above a layer of water. The compressed water... 

A typical laboratory will require a variety of common utilities, such as water, gas, and electric power. There must also be sewer connections and adequate provision for ventilation, as well as means for heating and cooling the area. In addition, there are often special laboratory needs, such as compressed air and vacuum. 

Ensure the adequacy (in terms of quality, quantity and reliability) of services/utilities, e.g. steam, process/cooling water, electricity, compressed air, inert gas, fire suppression systems, ventilation. 

In the Linde-Frank-Caro process the blue water gas is compressed to 20 atmospheres, and under pressure it is passed through water, which removes...

In electric utilities, residual fuel oils, such as no. 4, have been used to process steam for electric plants (lARC 1989). Fuel oil no. 4 has been used in commercial and industrial burner installations that are not equipped with preheating facilities (Air Force 1989). In other industries, such as the maritime industry, plants and factories, and the petroleum industry, residual fuel oils have been used for space and water heating, pipeline pumping, and gas compression, as well as in road oils, and in the manufacture. 

Power generation vs. direct drive. Power generation, a primary utility, was discussed in Part 1 in regard to type of configuration to save space once a power load is determined. To determine the peak power loads, decisions must be made early on prime movers for the main users of energy crude-shipping pumps, gas compression, and water-injection pumps. 

The original GC control system took the form of a central room which monitors the flowllne6, oil, water, and utility sections, plus a smaller satellite control room monitoring the gas compression and gas conditioning section of the plant. Closed loop process control, such as separator liquid level, pressure, flow and temperature control were handled by local pneumatic analog controllers. The key process variables are displayed in the control room via electronic instrumentation. All the key process and equipment trouble alarms are annunciated m the control rooms, plus the on/off status of key machinery and open/close status of key valves are displayed. 

Water invariably occurs with petroleum deposits. Thus, a knowledge of the properties of this connate, or interstitial, or formation water is important to petroleum engineers. In this chapter, we examine the composition of oilfield water water density, compressibility, formation volume factor and viscosity solubility of hydrocarbons in water and solubility of water in both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons and, finally, water-hydrocarbon interfacial tension. An unusual process called hydrate formation in which water and natural gas combine to form a solid at temperatures above the freezing point of water is discussed in Chapter 17.
