DEG Reboiler (Diethylene glycol)

A DEG (diethylene glycol) reboiler is a type of reboiler used in the chemical and petrochemical industries to heat and vaporize a liquid stream. It is typically used in the process of distillation and is designed to help separate and purify different components of a liquid mixture. DEG reboilers are typically used in the production of chemicals such as ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol.

The typical DEG reboiler has several key components, including: • The reboiler vessel: The reboiler vessel is the main component of the reboiler and is typically made of steel or other durable materials. It is designed to hold the liquid stream that is to be heated and vaporized. • The heat exchanger: The heat exchanger is the component of the reboiler that is used to transfer heat to the liquid stream. It is typically made of steel or other durable materials and is designed to be efficient and reliable. • The heat source: The heat source is the component of the reboiler that is used to provide the heat that is needed to heat and vaporize the liquid stream. It can be a steam, hot oil, or electricity as a heat source. • The condenser: The condenser is the component of the reboiler that is used to condense the vaporized liquid back into a liquid form, typically it is a shell and tube type condenser, which is the most common design used.

The engineering specifications for DEG reboilers are: • Heat duty: typically from 10 to 100 million Btu/hr • Operating temperature: typically from 150 to 400 °F • Operating pressure: typically from 15 to 150 psig • Standard: API 660, ASME VIII Div.1

DEG reboilers are designed to be efficient and reliable in heating and vaporizing liquid streams. They are typically used in the process of distillation and are able to separate and purify different components of a liquid mixture. The heat exchanger provides efficient heat transfer to the liquid stream and the heat source provides the heat needed to heat and vaporize the liquid stream. The condenser provides the necessary condensation of the vaporized liquid. The use of standard materials and design make it easy to find a replacement or upgrade. The DEG reboiler is a key component in the chemical and petrochemical industries for its ability to heat and vaporize liquid streams efficiently and reliably.

Where to Place an Offshore Platform When a major oil and gas operator wanted a new concrete gravity based platform placed in their existing subsea field, they asked us to figure out where to put it. At first it may seem like an easy task, pick a nice flat piece of seabed and job done. It is not that simple, however, and it took a multi-disciplinary team to get the optimum solution. Like all engineering issues, it is all about weighing the trade-offs between alternatives. Factors to consider in the placement of an offshore platform include drilling and completion costs, subsea infrastructure, and environmental impact, to name a few. These factors will impact the longer term viability of an offshore asset and it’s overall operability as infrastructure is added in the field. The drilling and completion costs are the most obvious to have be directly impacted by the surface position of an offshore platform. Here the overall drill and complete cost, as well as ability to reach geologic targets is based on the surface location of the platform, i.e. the starting surface location for all wells. Typically, platform placement is as close to the “center” of the pool as possible to enable the easiest options to access all parts of the structure, however, factors such as the desire to have horizontal completions, specific azimuths through a stress field, or a secondary geologic prospect, may move the platform from the “default” bullseye position. It is important to have an asset development plan from subsurface available (as mature as possible), to plan completions and trajectories for potential platform positions.
Light Intervention Vessel (LIV) A light intervention vessel (LIV) is a type of ship that is specifically designed to support light subsea operations such as well intervention, maintenance and repair, and construction activities. It typically has a large deck area for cargo and equipment, a moonpool, and a dynamic positioning system that allows the vessel to maintain its position in relation to a subsea structure. It is also equipped with a subsea crane and/or ROV (Remotely operated vehicle) launch and recovery systems. The accommodation quarters for crew and passengers are also available.
Slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer) A slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer) is a specialized type of BOP that is specifically designed for use with slickline operations. Slickline is a thin, un-insulated wire that is used to perform a variety of well intervention tasks such as setting and retrieving plugs, measuring depth, and running tools. A slickline BOP typically has the same functions as a coiled tubing BOP, which is designed to seal and control the well in the event of an emergency, but is designed to be used with slickline instead of coiled tubing.
