I would love to see your plans in the comments section. #Chemicalengineering #processengineering #oilandgas

Some people wish on stars. I wished on LinkedIn, and it came true! A few months ago, I made a wish on LinkedIn. “Send me an oil and gas project” I’ve got experience in the industry. So, it wasn’t a crazy wish. But within a few days, a past colleague contacted me with an urgent request. He needed a Process and Instrumentation Diagram and an isometric drawing for a line heater at a facility. Perfect! I landed an oil and gas project! Oil and gas projects are my favorite. These are fun puzzles to solve. Plus, as a chemical engineer, I get to leverage my expertise to help our customers. I love delivering complex, high-stakes projects like these on time and within budget. You can bet I’ll be making more wishes here on LI. I post here telling people who I am, and what we can do, so I’m the one they think of when they need help. What wish do you want to make on LinkedIn? Drop it in my comments..it could come true! #energy #oilandgas #engineering #operations #maintenance #projects

Hi, Engineers Today I’m writing a post on a common Oil & Gas industrial Phenomenon. Kindly, share your valuable views and experiences in the comments. Joule-Thomson Effect: Also known as the “J-T Effect” refers to the temperature change that occurs when a real gas expands or is throttled under adiabatic conditions. In simpler terms, when a high-pressure gas can flow through a valve into a lower-pressure environment, it experiences a temperature change. Interestingly, some gases exhibit a negative Joule-Thomson coefficient, meaning they cool down when expanding. This phenomenon is particularly significant in natural gas processing and other industrial applications. ⚫ Applications in Oil and Gas Industries: The Joule-Thomson effect finds crucial applications in the oil and gas industries: 1. Gas Processing Facilities: In gas processing plants, the Joule-Thomson effect is harnessed to control temperatures during the expansion of high-pressure gases, ensuring optimal conditions for subsequent separation and processing. 2. Hydrocarbon Recovery: In processes like gas condensate recovery, the Joule-Thomson effect helps manage temperatures, preventing unwanted hydrate formation and optimizing hydrocarbon recovery. 3. Green Hydrogen Production: For example, In green hydrogen production through water electrolysis, as high-pressure hydrogen gas is depressurized, the negative Joule-Thomson effect comes into play, contributing to the cooling process. This cooling aids in the overall efficiency of electrolysis. ⚫ Industrial Standards and Codes: Adherence to industry standards and codes is paramount for chemical engineers operating in the oil and gas sectors. The American Petroleum Institute (API) provides relevant standards, including API 521 for pressure-relieving and depressuring systems and API 2000 for venting atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks. ⚫ Good Engineering Practices: In making decisions related to the Joule-Thomson effect in oil and gas operations, chemical engineers should follow these practices: 1. Thorough Process Analysis: Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the gas in question, considering temperature, pressure, and composition variations. 2. Equipment Design Considerations: When designing equipment such as valves and separators, account for the Joule-Thomson effect to optimize operational efficiency and prevent unintended consequences. 3. Safety and Environmental Concerns: Prioritize safety and environmental considerations, ensuring that temperature changes resulting from the Joule-Thomson effect do not compromise equipment integrity or pose risks to personnel. 4. Continuous Monitoring: Implement robust monitoring systems to continuously assess temperature changes, enabling prompt adjustments and interventions when needed. #gasprocessing #processengineering #JTeffect #Chemicalengineer #oilandgas #depressurization Image source: https://lnkd.in/dB44rsAp

CRYOGENIC AIR SEPARATION PROCESS: GREAT CAREER FOR CHEMICAL PROCESS ENGINEERS Air Separation Unit (ASU) is a great place to start your chemical process engineering career. I can tell you that, although my first job in plant design was in an EPC for a Polypropylene revamp, I really learnt chemical process engineering and plant design during my 7 years in the Air Separation Industry. ASU is responsible for producing oxygen, nitrogen and argon at large scale. Not known by some chemical process engineers, ASU is responsible for supporting many processes as raw material or utility suppliers. It is a great place to start and develop a career. The biggest ones in this market are Linde Engineering, Air Products, Air Liquide, Messer Americas, and Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases. Talk about the air separation process, in summary, atmospheric air is compressed and pre-treated to remove water, CO2 and some hydrocarbons using PSA or TSA technology. Dry air is fed to Plate Thin Exchanger (PHX) where the air is liquified at very flow temperature against cryogenic N2 and O2. In the first column, nitrogen is distilled and oxygen riched stream at the bottom flows to another column at lower pressure where oxygen is purified. If argon production is required, another column is used to separate argon from O2. As you have seen, the distillation column is responsible for fractioning nitrogen, oxygen and argon from the air. The chemical process engineer uses thermodynamics and unit operation to design and adjust this equipment for its better condition. Some unit operations related to cryogenic air separation are distillation, fluid flow, heat exchanging, and adsorption.

After oil & gas engineering, I’m used to complex problems, but “simple” ones are fun too. We recently had a General Contractor ask us to provide office trailers for a job site. Sounds simple, right? As a chemical engineer, I’d agree. But, “simple” doesn’t mean “easy”. Details matter. Some clients know exactly the trailers they want. They know where they want to put them. They know whether they want stacked trailers. They have the site plans ready for install. But, other clients…well, they don’t. That’s why they need us. We talked with the GC and visited the site to understand: Requirements, Site specifics, Timelines, & Budget. Then we worked with the rental company to come up with options that fit the need. We considered large trailers, smaller trailers, stacked trailers…just about every possible configuration. In the end, I presented a couple of good options to the GC. He picked 1 large one, 1 small one, & not stacked. The GC was happy to get what he needed …and even happier someone else worked the details. I’m happy to work the details …and even happier to add another satisfied GC to our client roster.

Great sharing, Jeferson Costa! Having cut my teeth in Linde since my internship, I would have to agree. Being able to start with distillation and separation without "too many components" is a good starting point to learn (from both a design & operations insight) 😁 #wjbites #chemicalengineering
