Description
Summary:There are nearly 40% of the world gas reservoir contains high level of CO2 and H2S that pose obstacles to development. Due to the high CO2 content, up to 13 trillion cubic feet of high C02-NG gas fields remain undeveloped in Malaysia. Therefore, development of C02-NG separation techniques will enable monetization of high C02-NG gas fields in Malaysia and to position PETRONAS the competitive edge for international fields' acquisition. Many technologies have been developed for CO2 removal such as adsorption, absorption, cryogenic distillation but membrane is the most optimized technology. In order to complete the existing simulation for the membrane in HYSYS software, the temperature change between the inlet and outlet stream needs to be considered. The reason that causes the temperature change is Joule-Thomson effect. By studying the Joule-Thomson effect, the author can apply all the mathematical equations into the HYSYS program to simulate the membrane. With the membrane simulation in HYSYS, the chemical engineers will easily see the temperature change as well as other properties (composition ofCO2content) in the outlet streams.
