Increasing Heat Exchanger Performance
A plan for increasing heat exchanger performance for shell and tube exchangers should consider the following steps. 1) Determine that the exchanger is operating correctly as designed. Correcting flaws in construction and piping that may have a detrimental effect on heat transfer and pressure drop may be the solution.

A Comparison of Physical Solvents for Acid Gas Removal …
www.bre.com1 A COMPARISON OF PHYSICAL SOLVENTS FOR ACID GAS REMOVAL INTRODUCTION Physical solvents such as DEPG (Selexol™ or Coastal AGR®), NMP or N-Methyl-2- Pyrrolidone (Purisol®), Methanol (Rectisol®), Propylene Carbonate (Fluor Solvent™), and others are becoming increasingly popular as gas treating solvents, especially for coal gasification …
The Use of MDEA and Mixtures of Amines for Bulk CO2 …
www.bre.comThe use of MDEA and mixtures of amines for bulk CO2 removal was explored using three case studies. A process simulation program called TSWEET was used to study the effect of the amine used and the major operating parameters on the performance of MDEA solutions for bulk CO2 removal. The results showed that MDEA can be used
