  3. Abstract:
  4. Optimization of ethane recovery in Phases 4 and 5 of Assalouyeh was studied. The influence of some parameters on the ethane recovery and the sensitivity analysis were determined. The effect of the parameter variation on the neighboring unit showed that a significant energy saving for compressor power consumption could be achieved. Some of the operating conditions of this unit were modified, including columns pressure, split fraction, minimum approach temperature, and expander power. This led to a 6% increase in ethane yield. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 18th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering (Prague, Czech Republic 8/24-28/2008)
