Abstract: (8945 Views) |
| In recent years, there has been great incentive to improve the energy utilization with which the existing capital in offshore and onshore surface facilities is utilized. One of the most energy intensive processes in oil upstream industry is natural gas liquid or NGL recovery plant. The main gorge of energy consumption in conventional NGL plants is propane refrigeration. Hence, more attention should be focused on the effective utilization of propane chillers in a NGL plant. In this investigation, a simulation model has been developed on the basis of using novel configurations in Gachsaran NGL1200 in south of Iran. |
