Overview
- Presents the conceptual aspects of offshore processing of raw natural gas with supersonic separators in comparison to processing with conventional technologies
- Discusses in detail the concept and theory of generalized multiphase and multi-reactive speed of sound as a thermodynamic property and how to calculate it in HYSYS process simulators
- Provides a complete theoretical framework for modeling supersonic separators for the removal of condensable species such as water and heavy hydrocarbons from natural gas
- Describes process flowsheets for the removal of water and heavy hydrocarbons from natural gas using supersonic separators, comparing the economic and energy performance with conventional approaches
- Details how CO2 freeze-out introduces issues and limitations affecting the performance of supersonic separators
