Hi,


We had to estimate the carry over of chloride salts with the oil and gas production separator gas for a production facility. I understand that the Chlorides accelerate the corrosion process and hence their concentration govern the mettalurgy of the downstream systems. We have a downstream compression system for which we have to decide the mettalurgy. The concentration of H2S in the gas phase is about 1.5% and CO2 about 5%.

We have the concentartion of the salts in the produced water as an input. This is approximately 7000 ppm chloride salts.

The seperator operates at 1.5 barg and 50 deg C.

I would like to know the approach to be followed in the study.

Is it correct to assume that there will be no chloride salt carry over into vapour phase (in ppm levels) other than physical carryover through water droplets which could not be seperated in the seperator?


Or has the system to be simulated by a process simulator to determine carryover levels of the chloride salt component. Has anyone got experience on a simillar study?

Regards
Benoy
