20 Equilibrium in Practice Equilibrium is a very important concept in VLE calculations At equilibrium: The pressure of the liquid and vapor phase are the same The temperature of the liquid and vapor phase are the same The composition of the phases does not change with time It takes time to achieve equilibrium Calculations are performed assuming equilibrium with adjustments for how closely the process actually approaches equilibrium Equilibrium in Practice Equilibrium is a very important concept in VLE calculations In absorption and fractionation calculations, no true equilibrium exists At equilibrium: The assumption The pressure of equilibrium the liquid and must vapor be phase corrected are the by same an efficiency factor The temperature of the liquid and vapor phase are the same The composition of the phases does not change with time The concept of equilibrium in a two-phase system does not This does not mean that molecules are not crossing the phase mean that the system is static boundary. Molecules are moving from the vapor to the liquid and Molecules from the liquid still continuously to the vapor transfer but the net between movement phasesof these No molecules net change is zero. in composition occurs It takes time to achieve equilibrium Calculations are performed assuming equilibrium with adjustments for how closely the process actually approaches equilibrium 20 1

21 Basis for VLE Calculations At equilibrium: Vapor phase pressure = Liquid phase pressure Vapor phase temperature = Liquid phase temperature Vapor phase energy = Liquid phase energy Component fugacity in vapor phase = component fugacity in liquid phase Raoult s Law P T If we assume the vapor phase is an ideal gas Vapor Partial Pressure P = system pressure; = vapor phase mol fraction If we assume the liquid phase is an ideal solution Then at equilibrium, This is called Raoult s Law and it can be used to estimate K-values for systems where the ideal gas and ideal liquid assumptions are valid. yi K i x i PVi P Vapor Liquid Liquid Partial Pressure = vapor pressure at system temperature, = liquid phase mol fraction 21 2

23 Methods for Estimating K Values As discussed on the previous slide, correlations based on an Equation of State are the most common method of estimating K-values These are included in process simulation software packages For demonstrating how equilibrium calculations are performed we will be using the K-value charts in Appendix 5A of the Chapter 5 in the Campbell GC&P Text, Vol. 1 The C3 K-value charts are shown to the right.

27 Stabilization of Hydrocarbon Liquids For crude oil, condensate and C5+ NGL mixtures the vapor pressure specification, with few exceptions, is near or below one atmosphere at a specified temperature. The purpose of a near atmospheric vapor pressure specification is to facilitate the storage and transportation of the product due to pressure and emission limitations on storage tanks, rail cars, road tankers and marine tankers. How is it done? Stage separation with heat input as required Distillation column Stage separation Stabilizer column Debutanizer column Stabilization of Hydrocarbon Liquids The liquid leaving the last point in the process where it is separated from the vapor stream is at its bubble point Separation conditions fix the vapor pressure of the liquid at some specified temperature (ex: 100 F [37.8 C]) Stage separation Stabilizer column Debutanizer column 27 1

28 Stabilization of Hydrocarbon Liquids If stage separation is used the temperature and pressure of the final separation stage will determine if the vapor pressure of the product If a crude oil or condensate stabilizer is used, the vapor pressure of the product will be determined by the stabilizer column bottom conditions If the product is a C5+ NGL mixture, the vapor pressure will be determined by the debutanizer bottom conditions Stage separation Stabilizer column Debutanizer column Two-Stage (or Three-Stage) Separation Flash stabilization is the most common method of stabilizing crude oil. Condensate can be stabilized this way as well but stabilizer columns are more commonly used in condensate systems. V 1 V 2 If gas is flashed off of the stock tank it is considered a separation stage V 3 F 1 F 2 F 3 Stock Tank L 1 L 2 L

29 Two-Stage (or Three-Stage) Separation Increasing the number of intermediate separation stages increases total liquid production, system complexity, and capital cost. In some systems, one of the separation vessels may also be the vessel where crude oil is dehydrated. The first-stage pressure is fixed by inflow performance and/or export gas pressure. F 1 It is seldom greater than 13.8 Mpa (2000 psia) V 1 L 1 Two-Stage (or Three-Stage) Separation F 2 Pressure at the last stage will be at, or near, atmospheric pressure and is fixed by temperature and vapor pressure specification. V 2 L 2 V 3 If crude oil meets vapor F 3 pressure specification upstream Stock of stock tank, it is Tank not a stage Intermediate stage pressures can be adjusted to yield maximum liquid recovery at stock tank conditions and/or minimize compression power. L 3 V 1 V 2 V 3 F 1 F 2 If crude oil meets vapor F 3 pressure specification upstream Stock of stock tank, it is Tank not a stage L 1 L 2 L

30 Single Separation System ST Separator would be required to operate at vacuum conditions to meet the vapor pressure specification Single Separation System 30 C [86 F] X X Compression ratio is limited by compressor type and gas properties Maximum compressor discharge temperature is C [ F] For hydrocarbon gases with a relative density of 0.6 to 0.7 and a suction temperature of around 40 C, the compression ratio is limited to about For heavier molecular weight gases the maximum compression ratio may approach 5.0. Scrubber liquids are frequently recycled back to a lower pressure separation stage Most molecules in scrubber liquids heavier than butane stay with the crude oil ST Separator would be required to operate at vacuum conditions to meet the vapor pressure specification X X 30 C [86 F] Most molecules lighter than propane flash off and leave with the export gas Propane and butane molecules get trapped in the system and create recycle effect that increases flash gas flow through the compressors 30 4
