Here you'll find helpful resources like repair and maintenance walkthroughs, basic training for the oil & gas industry, in-depth looks at processes and equipment, Kimray product information and more. Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of those we serve, and we do that by providing you with resources to equip you for success.
Kimray is an oil and gas control valve manufacturer in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that has been creating products for temperature, level, flow, and pressure control since 1948. You'll regularly find our products across the globe being used for compression, gas dehydration, separation, heaters, artificial lift, gas regulation, measurement and more.
If you say you want "30-degree gas", you are saying you want 6lb/mmscf (assuming ~1000 psia operating pressure)? Assuming the gas temperature fluctuates or operates at something other than, what effect(s) does that have on moisture content? I know you said it isn't referring to gas temperature, but they're correlated for some reason. I'm sure I'm missing some critical information.
Can you arrange the linkages on an oversized valve to where it only opens 70% at max? The difference in Cv between 4" and 6" (70.1 and 277) is huge. We have a 6" but the 4" would be way to small.
Well, just finished up the playlist. Pretty interesting stuff. Even though I'm a video game programmer, and will probably never need to know any of it, pretty fascinating to see how hydrocarbons are refined before they are delivered to us!
Thanks for the video. I work for an Oil and Gas company as an instrument tech. More often, we experience excessive glycol foaming in the TEG contactor making the differential level transmitter reading not being in synch with sight glass readings and that of the control room. We currently push glycol at over 225 Degree Fahrenheit and the inlet gas at 90 Degree Fahrenheit to the TEG contactor. And the differential temperature, as you can see, is more than the 20 Degree Fahrenheit you talk about. I have suggested the solutions you provided in the video, but my superiors are saying it is not possible in that the glycol with such a differential temperature of 20F cannot dry the gas. Please is there more info you think that will help solve this excessive foaming of glycol? I look forward to hearing from you ASAP. Regards, Davison
Davison, first let me preface this reply by saying that Kimray can offer technical support for products that we manufacture, like the glycol pump, but we are not experts in dehy equipment and cannot officially suggest your best practices or how to operate your equipment. That said, we can share some knowledge about the subject for you that may help. - The dry glycol temperature at the dry glycol inlet should be no more than 20 degrees F greater than the temperature of the wet gas. The glycol entering the top tray may raise the temperature of the gas surrounding it and prevent the gas from giving up its remaining water vapor. - Also, a drastic temperature differential tends to emulsify the glycol with any contamination it may contain. This causes excessive glycol foaming and subsequent glycol loss. - The longevity of the energy exchange pump will also suffer if the dry glycol temperatures are above 200 F. Ideally the lean glycol needs to be 150-160 degrees F.
Great video! If I remember it right, the engines powering the compressors themselves "bleed off" some of the gas as fuel, right? How much fuel do they consume? Is it a significant amount?
We have a playlist with all the videos we have made about our float operated controllers, which would include the Gen II. This list has a few about displacer options, troubleshooting, how they work and using them with for interface control. We have been focusing a lot on the new Gen 3, but can continue to support you however you need for the Gen II. Please let us know if you need any other specific info or help! ru-vid.com/group/PLkkvy2djnFddbPh97BYlJy38fJ5zVErs8&feature=shared
basically different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and they use that to capture them at different points, which they are then refined and conditioned and sold. different hydrocarbons have different properties so theyre suited to different tasks. ask if other questions
We can get those for you! Email marketing@kimray.com and our Marketing Coordinator can send you some Kimray stickers for sure. I'll let her know to look for your email.
