Process design case study

5 – H

Welcome to this presentation

It will show you, on a practical case, how the process design of a typical Oil & Gas facility, an Oil & Gas production (Upstream) facility is done

Process design bases identification

Process scheme selection

Process simulations

Sizing of Process Equipment

Specification of Mechanical Equipment

Comments are most welcome (herve.baron@gmail.com), which I will incorporate for the benefit of all.

Wrap-up: the first steps of Process design

Process simulations

Some equipment are designed and some other are specified by Process. Remember which ones?

Process simulations

Some equipment are designed and some other are specified by Process. Remember which ones?

Equipment performing a process function, e.g., separation, are

designed by Process.

Equipment performing a mechanical function, e.g., pumps, compressors as well as heat exchangers, are specified

by Process.
