  1. Simplified View of the Thermodynamics of NGLs Ty Leisure Paul Daniell (Associate Professor at Marietta College)

  2. Basics

  3. What is it?  Condensation-  Is a change of form from a gaseous state to a liquid state

  4. First Method  Raise the pressure and keep temperature constant

  5. VLE Diagram

  6. Compressors

  7. There is a problem  TOO MUCH HEAT!!!

  8. Heat Exchangers

  9. Compressors + Heat Exchangers  Compressors raises pressure and temperature  Heat Exchangers remove heat  Readily available  Takes up a large portion of space

  10. The Second Method  Lowering the temperature and keep pressure constant

  11. VLE Diagram

  12. Refrigeration

  13. Refrigeration  Similar to domestic refrigerators  Hot air  Compressor  Refrigerant  Gas  Repeat  Relatively expensive

  14. Turbine Expanders

  15. Turbine Expanders  Mechanical Energy  Kinetic Energy  Potential Energy  Kinetic Energy  Mechanical Energy  Wow!  Work can be 100% recoverable  Less cost

  16. Turbine Expanders  Temperature drop function of pressure drop  Ethane!

  17. Economics

  18. Summary  ↑ Pressure, Temperature constant  Compressors + Heat Exchangers  ↓ Temperature, Pressure constant  Refrigeration and Turbine Expanders

  19. Final Thoughts  Turbine Expanders  Ethane  Refrigeration  Cost down, efficient liquid recovery  Compressors + Heat Exchangers  In every chemical plant. Bulky
