Surface Production Operations Volume 2 walks you through the equipment and processes used in gas-handling operations to help you design and manage a production facility. It provides the most current information about gas-handling systems and facilities featuring many new sections, such as:

• Heat recovery units
• Kinetic inhibitors and anti-agglomerators
• Trays and packing for distillation and absorption towers
• Compressor valves
• Foundation design considerations for reciprocating compressors
• Pressure vessel issues and components
• Nox reduction in engines and turbines
• Safety management systems

Production engineers will keep this volume on the desktop for the latest information on how to design, specify, and operate gas-handling systems and facilities. It allows engineers with little or no background in production facility design to easily locate details about equipment, processes, and design parameters.

Surface Production Operations Volume 2 will help you to more completely comprehend the techniques of handling produced fluids from gas wells so your facility can be more efficient and productive.
