Abstract: A method for assessment of an oil and gas flow network comprises: (1) gathering historical data and/or live data relating to the status of multiple control points at different branches within the flow network and to one or more flow parameter(s) in one or more flow path(s) of the flow network in which flows of more than one of the different branches have been combined: (2) identifying time intervals in the data during which all of the control points and all of the flow parameters are in a steady state: and (3) extracting statistical data representative of some or all steady state intervals identified in step (2) to thereby represent the original data from step (1) in a compact form. In an alternative embodiment there is a method of assessing and oil and gas flow network which involves identifying adjustments that have been made in one or more of the control points that result in changes to one of more of the flow parameters and determining relationships between the status of the control points and the flow parameters by generating one or more local models for the system based on the status of the control points and the flow points before and after the adjustments and using the relationships to assess factors relating to performance of the flow network.

Title: Cleaning a multi-effect evaporator
Inventor: TOMER EFRAT
IPC: F28G9/00
Filed: 2015-11-10
Abstract: A method for cleaning a multistage evaporator having a normal operational mode and a cleaning mode and having at least two groups of effects 2, 4 each group having one or more effects. In the normal mode input vapour is introduced to a first group of effects 2 comprising the hottest effects, and then vapour is delivered from the first group to a second group of effects 4. Upon detection of a level of scale formation in the first effects the evaporator is switched to the cleaning mode wherein the first effects is separated from the other effects by closing valves 10, 12 and opening valve 14 so that the input vapour is redirected into the second effects. A cleaning agent is introduced into the separated first effects until a level of cleanliness is achieved. Optionally, vapour from the second effects is delivered to a third group of effects 6 and so on depending on the total number of effects. When the level of cleanliness is achieved the input vapour is redirected to the first effects. The first effects may be housed in a chamber (200, fig 2) and the second and other effects housed in a separate chamber (400).
