Foster Wheeler acquires US biotech construction firm Yonkers Industries
The 30-year-old, US-based company specializes in the management of construction and commissioning of pharmaceutical and biotech facilities, with capabilities to also manage the full EPCm (engineering, procurement and construction management) of such facilities.
Fluor, JGC win design work for Mozambique LNG
The FEED work will deliver designs for the initial phase of the Mozambique LNG project of four trains, each train capable of producing 5 million tpy of liquefied natural gas (20 million tpy total). The project has the potential to expand its capacity up to approximately 50 million tpy of LNG in the future.
Technip to design Mosaic Louisiana ammonia plant
Mosaic’s preference is to locate the proposed plant adjacent to the company’s existing Faustina fertilizer manufacturing operations in St. James Parish, Louisiana. It would have a capacity of 2,200 tpd.
CB&I, Chiyoda win engineering, design work for Mozambique LNG trains
The FEED will deliver designs for the initial phase of the Mozambique LNG project of four trains each with 5 million tpy of LNG production capacity. This project is the first LNG project in Mozambique, and it has the potential to expand its capacity up to approximately 50 million tpy of LNG in the future.
Optimize LNG boil-off gas systems for regasification terminals
Depending on LNG composition, N2 content and plant operating mode, an operating pressure of 7 barg to 8 barg was found by the study to be the optimum pressure range.
Improve evaluation of brittle-fracture resistance for vessels
This article discusses a new approach and spreadsheet tool for engineers that can be used to provide operating pressure limits as a function of vessel-metal temperatures.
Evaluate pressure relief system forces in existing installations
The purpose of this study is to limit the number of relief valves that require rigorous engineering calculations to determine the adequacy of the installation.
Improve your plantwide steam network
When optimizing an existing steam network, design and process engineers need a complete understanding of all aspects of the existing system. Accurate energy and material balances must be established.
Update on wet and gas compressor seals
Shaft seals keep compressed gas from leaking out. The need for leak prevention may include process economy, safety and environmental protection. Moreover, the process gas will usually have to be kept ..
