Energy efficiency improvement in the natural gas liquids fractionation unit
The objective of this paper is to present the study and analysis of the energy efficiency for the natural gas liquids (NGLs) fractionation sequence by using driving force method. To perform the studies and analysis, the energy efficient NGLs fractionation plant methodology is developed. Hence, the m...
