Thread: Hydrocarbons condensation in isolated line

  1. Lightbulb Hydrocarbons condensation in isolated line

    Hi all members of the petroleum community

    I have a question for all of you, may you help me.

    In a isolated line that contains a hydrocarbons(vapours) mixture, I can calculate dew point with hysys.This line feeds into a K.O DRUM.

    In the basic engineering of the suction compressor drum, It exists a certain amount of liquid.

    My question is: How is it possible condensation in an isolated line,if the dew point is not reached.

    Thanks in advance

    below should be possible alternative explanations:

    1. C7+ characterization is not accurate.
    2. Drum knocks out liquid during compressor startup (J-T effect across anti-surge valve)
    3. If the KO drum after 2-3rd stage compression, during compressor stop, the liquids evaporate slowly from the KO drum due to venting.

    Hope it helps
