Report Outline • Previous Questions • Block Flow Diagram • Detailed PFD's (stream #, components, P&T) for each process • Energy sinks/loads, Equipment sizing, Cost in Aspen estimator for one process -- Hydrocarbon recovery
Previous Questions 1. Sending 97% Nitrogen and 3% methane from Nitrogen rejection stream to NH3 plant. 2.Using thermal swing adsorber instead of a pressure swing adsorber. To prevent the loss of feed gas in the bed during depressurization and also,the short time cycle in PSA can cause rapid re-pressurization that will lead to transient variation in the feed and product flow which will affect the operation of the plant 3. Using only one turboexpander for Hydrocarbon recovery.
