1.0 PIGGING Pigs are used daily in the operation and construction of pipelines. They may be used for a variety of reasons: To clean and increase line efficiency To locate obstructions and inspections of the line To separate products Corrosion control Air purge and water removal Meter proving The frequency …
19.0 SAFETY DEVICES Process equipment is designed to operate at a pressure at least 10% above maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), and at temperatures much higher than normal operating temperatures. To ensure equipment integrity, a range of pressure relieving devices are available. 19.1 Pressure Relief/Safety Valves (PRV / PSV) All …
VALVES INTRODUCTION The most common mechanical device used in process operations is the valve. Valves are used to control the flow of liquids and gases in piping systems. A wide range of products, pressures, and temperatures are used in processing systems, so valves are made in a wide range of …
By the end of the Article, You will be able to understand: Purpose of flare systems How flare systems operate Different types of flare Safety when operating flare systems Source of Flare gas Flare System Components Introduction Flares are essentially special burners designed to safely dispose of large volumes of …
GAS CONDITIONING & PROCESSING (Gas Dehydration) Contents Water in Natural Gas …
Centrifugal pumps are one of the world’s most commonly used devices. Moreover. their field of application is continuously expanding. However. new applications often bring about new problems. Consequently. it is impossible to foresee the problems that may turn up in the future. The only alternative is an indepth knowledge and …
Plate Heat Exchangers have a high heat transfer rate compared to other types of heat exchangers due to their large surface area. They are composed of a number of thin metal plates compressed together into a ‘plate pack’ by two pressure plates. Within a plate heat exchanger, the fluid paths …
Deluge Valves are used in conditions that call for quick application of large volumes of water and, for that reason, are often integral components in fire protection systems. What are Deluge Valves?Deluge systems deliver large quantities of water, over a large area, in a relatively short period of time. They …
18.0 CHECK VALVES The check valve has a specific purpose, that is, to protect plant and equipment from the consequences of reversed flow conditions. If the flow does reverse, the pressure of the fluid will help to keep the valve closed. Check valves are usually installed in pump discharge lines …
What is “Deaerator”? What does it do? How does it work? Where do we commonly use deaerators? what is the function of “Deaerator” in steam generation systems? In the following article I am going to bring a brief and clear answer to all above questions and provide a short review …
This study covers only the treatment of water/oil emulsions. Emulsion breaking procedures can be classified in three categories: Chemical processes: By adding active molecules (demulsifiers) at a very low concentration (from a few ppm to a few dozen ppm). Physical processes: which mainly make use of the temperature and/or electrostatic …
TURBINES: TYPES OF TURBINES & THEIR APPLICATIONS What is turbine? A turbine is a rotating part which converts kinetic energy of a working fluid into useful mechanical energy and/or electrical energy. Simple, right? Well, nothing is simple when you go deeper. There are set of blades mounted on a rotor …
