This Tip of the Month describes simple equations to approximate changes to the properties of crude oil with changing temperature.   Changes in crude oil density and specific heat, or heat capacity, can be estimated from graphs and/or more elaborate computer simulation.  The latter generally requires access to a process simulator and characterization data for theContinue Reading

The solubility of acid gases in TEG solution has been the subject of two previous Tips of the Month, (June 2012 and July 2012).  In these instances, the focus was on gas streams with maximum acid gas partial pressure of 100 psia (690 kPa) and TEG concentrations of 95 and 100 wt%.   This is typicalContinue Reading
