Reduce CAPEX by 50% and Footprint by 40% in Gas Quality Measurement Applications
10 September 2020

Compliance with gas quality specifications requires the measurement of both sulfur and natural gas energy content. Supporting these measurements often involves multiple gas analyzers or expensive and large conventional air-bath oven gas chromatographs.

 This white paper outlines ways to reduce cost, footprint, and complexity by leveraging the industry’s first explosion-proof gas chromatograph capable of combining the measurement of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), energy content, hydrocarbon dew point, and total sulfur compounds in a single compact, field-mountable gas analyzer solution.

The Use of Tube Inserts in Fired Heaters
2 September 2020

The use of tube inserts in fired heaters with multiphase process flow can reduce fouling, reduce tube metal temperature, and increase yield. Although twisted tape inserts have been in use since 1896, researchers used modern tools to optimize the goodness factor. The resulting insert increases the homogeneity of multiphase flows eliminating regions of low heat transfer. Example calculations for application of the inserts to delayed coking heaters indicate run lengths may increase by up to 35%.
