This Tip of the Month demonstrates the application of an external sub-cooler to optimize the performance of a mechanical refrigeration system. As part of a hydrocarbon dew point control plant, this tip will also evaluate and compare the simulation results for a simple refrigeration system and a system with a sub-cool heat exchange economizer.

Every day, project managers are challenged to make significant decisions that affect project progress, cost and operability outcomes. Learn how project governance affects those decisions and some standard practices and procedures you can apply in your career. [Keep reading]
In this tip, we will evaluate the accuracy of water content predicted by a process simulation software against limited measured experimental data. [Keep reading]
This Tip of the Month (TOTM) presents two methods for how a process simulation program can be used to quantitatively determine the isothermal and isobaric retrograde curves. A phase diagram, including the retrograde curves for rich gas, is generated and presented. [Keep reading]
This Subsurface Tip of the Month introduces decline curve analysis and focuses on the modified Arps method for unconventional wells in detail, providing both equations and plots of forecasted production. [Keep reading]
Learn how harnessing the Coriolis effect allows engineers to provide direct, in-line and accurate mass flow measurement of both liquids and gases. Walk through the basic theory of the Coriolis effect, the development of this revolutionary technology and the challenges of creating the perfect flow meter. [Keep reading]
