Process simulation-based improvements to maximize naphtha production in an existing gas processing plant
The parameters for the proper operation of each one of the process stages (compression, cooling, and separation) in an existing gas processing plant which processes 1.5 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) were determined. The gas plant was simulated using the Aspen HYSYS® V7.3 software with...
