In the present study, a great effort was made to improve the performance of an industrial liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) and natural gas liquid(NGL) production unit in one of the major gas refinery located at Pars special economic zone in Iran. To demonstrate and obtain the optimal condition, the unit was simulated by using a steady-state flowsheet simulator, i.e. Aspen Plus, under different operational conditions. According to the simulation results,the unit was not operational under its optimal conditions due to some defects in the cooling system at top stage of the debutanizer tower(DBT) during hot and humid seasons. Additionally, the vapor pressure of produced LPG and accordingly the amount of its flaring were decreased by reducing the temperature of debutanizer tower at top stages. In the optimization section, the DBT condenser and reboiler heat duty, temperature, and pressure were regulated as adjustable parameters. The simulation results demonstrated that by applying the optimum suggestion in the hot months, the reflux stream temperature was reached about 55 ℃ which caused an efficient increment in LPG production(about 4%) with adjusting the propane component in LPG, based on the standard range as the plant criteria. Moreover, after applying modifications, about 750 t of LPG product was saved from flaring during five hot months of the year, which resulted in 360000 USD extra annual income for the company.Finally, from environmental point of view, this optimization caused to reduce 81 t of CO_2 emission to the environment. Therefore, the current investigation must be introduced as a friendly environmentally process.

Finaally, from environmental point of view, this optimization caused to reduce 81 t of CO 2 emission to the environment. Therefore, the current investigation must be introduced as a friendly environmentally process.

唉,真是的,肚子又痛了!  我一边揉着我的肚脐眼儿,一边颤巍巍地走进卫生间,坐在了马桶上,咬紧牙关,使劲了好久,总算“下”出来几颗棕色的“蛋”。  因还有事,我匆匆擦完屁股走了。可我的肚子又开始胡闹了。可恶的家伙!我只得忍着疼痛,悻悻地回到了马桶上,对着肚子咒天骂地。  离“下蛋”还有一段时间。我很是无聊地环视着周围,盯着前面镜子中的自己发呆。“蛋”还没出来啊?我又拨弄了几下皮搋子,结果肚子又疼了
