Almost all large petroleum refineries produce by-product fuel gas which is consumed in the refinery. Some refineries may also consume some of the fuel oils that they produce. Milt Beychok

Good book on Transport Phenomena HappMatt: Read this book article: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Transport_Phenomena Milton Beychok (Visit me at www.air-dspersion.com)

jaxnnux: I strongly recommend that you read the Wikipedia article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe-Thiele_method Milt Beychok

mojo4king: I am not sure that I completely understand your questions, but here goes: (1) The molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 44 and the molecular weight weight of methane is 16. Since the combustion equation shows that 1 mole of methane (when combusted) yields 1 mole of carbon...

For those of you who are interested in learning about air pollution dispersion modeling, I recommend that you read the following online articles at Wikipedia: Atmospheric dispersion modeling Air pollution dispersion modeling books Air pollution dispersion terminology Compilation of air...

Converting air pollutant concentrations Various governmental agencies involved with environmental protection and with occupational safety and health have promulgated regulations limiting the allowable concentrations of gaseous pollutants in the ambient air or in emissions to the ambient air...

Bigufo: I am talking about the vapor from the truck vent being routed into the tank vent for the duration of the loading. Or install a piping tee on the vent line with a valve on each branch of the tee. When loading a tank truck, close the valve on the branch that normally vents the tank and...

Bigufo: As you pump out of the storage tank into the truck: (1) The the liquid level in the storage tank is lowered and hence the larger vapor space is filled by inflow of ambient air through the tank vent. (2) As you pump into the truck, the level rises and "pushes" vapor out of the...

PRDan4th: As a retired chemical engineer who contributes quite heavily to the Wikipedia, I would caution you to be very careful when reading technical articles in the Wikipedia. A great many of them are written by inexperienced undergraduate students who think they know certain subjects ...

Gufo: Can you please clarify what loss you are talking about?? Are you talking about losses from the tank truck vents while loading into the tank truck from your storage tanks? If so, have you thought of simply venting the trucks back into your storage tanks? Milt Beychok (Visit me at...

In Metric units: A vapor-liquid separator drum is a vertical vessel into which a liquid and vapor mixture (or a flashing liquid) is fed and wherein the liquid is separated by gravity, falls to the bottom of the vessel, and is withdrawn. The vapor travels upward at a design velocity which...

When a real gas, as differentiated from an ideal gas, expands at constant enthalpy (i.e., no heat is transferred to or from the gas, and no external work is extracted), the gas will be either cooled or heated by the expansion. That change in gas temperature with the change in pressure is...

Go to www.efunda.com/units/ and you will find a list of unit categories. Click on anyone of them ... for example, click on "density". Then you'll get a list of various units of density. Click on anyone of them ... for example, click on "grams per cubic centimeter". Then you'll get the...
