ABSTRACT
This research is focused on the difficulties that gas producers usually face with Hydrate formation during transportation. Hydrate build up in gas transportation flowlines is one of the major tasks for gas operators to deal with as it may cease gas flow through the pipeline, reduce well head measured flow rate, equipment damages e.t.c Two kinds of Engineering designs were developed to help transport gases of different pressures to an extension facility whose inlet pressures was designed at 8 barg. HYSYS VERSION 2006 was used for the simulation of these designs to check for the possibilities of Hydrate formation and recommendations were made based on the outputs.
Flow velocity is a very important criterion in determining the possibilities of noise in a gas transporting pipeline. There is a possibility of noise in a gas pipeline if the fluid mean velocity exceeds 60 ft/sec. Also, one of the objectives of this project is to verify the suitability of pipelines sizes for the 8 barg pressure to transport gas over a distance of 120 km. For this project, a default pipe line size of 10” SCH 40 was selected and other pipe sizes lesser and greater than it were also used to pick the most suitable, simultaneously considering cost. PIPESIM VERSION 2009.1 was used for these analyses and the best pipeline size was determined.
The simulations reveal that both designs are efficient enough and at standard conditions, there will be no possibilities of hydrate formations but the possibilities of establishing design A will be recommended because it entails lower cost and less space is required. Also, a pipeline size of 10” SCH 40 will be sufficient for the given flow conditions but a pipe line size of 8” SCH 40 can also be used.
