Calculation of TEG Absorber Diameter and height along with Reboiler duty

Data

Gas flow rate = 8.47551949 MMscfd


sp. gravity of gas = 0.91400832
Operating Pressure = 148.809 psi
Operating Temperature = 122 F
Outlet water Contents = 7 lb H20 / MMscf
Inlet water Contents = 4465.978 lb H20 / MMscf
TEG cirulation rate = 3 gal TEG / lb H2O
compressibilty factor , z = 0.99

TEG concentration

Fig 20-68 Assuming 10 F approach to equilibrium

TEG conc = 99.90%

No. Of Theoritical Stages

Water removal Efficiency = 0.998433

Fig 20-70 No. of trays = 4 at 3 gal TEG/lb of H2O at 99.9 % wt of TEG

(Win -Wout)/Win = 0.999

Keeping tray effiency 25 %


Actual number of trays will be 16

→ so we will use 2 Theoritcal stages = 8 bubble cap trays @24 inch tray spacings

Sizing the Contractor

bubble cap = 24 inch tray spacing

Reboiler Duty

Temperature IN = 300 F
Operating Temp = 400 F

Glycol Reboiler Duty: basis = 1 gal TEG

Sensible Heat

m= 9.3 lb/gal
Cp = 0.665 BTU/lb.F

Qs= 618.45 BTU/gal

Vaporuization of Absorbed water

∆H vap = 970 BTU/lb H20


∆W = 0.333333 lb H20 / 3 gal TEG

Qv= 323.3333 BTU/gal

Condensor Dutry @ 25 % Reflux Ratio

Qc= 80.8 btu/gal

Heat Loss 10 %

TOTAL DUTY INCLUDING HEAT LOSS = 1124.878 BTU/gal

TOTAL DUTY BASED ON GAS FLOW RATE (MMscfd) = 5313947 BTU/hr
