Piping
Design operations-and-maintenance-friendly pressure vessels—Part 1
Many scholarly articles have been published on the design, selection and fabrication of pressure vessels.
Sample heat transfer fluids to offset carbon effects on thermal plant efficiency
The long-term viability of a plant depends on maintaining continuous output and reducing production costs.
Experimental study of flow-induced pipe vibrations with guided end conditions
A study has been performed on the vibrations and stability of fluid-conveying pipes with guided ends. Guided ends are the most common type of pipe ends, as they enable the pipe to have free movement.
Innovations
Unintended fugitive emissions from pressurized plant components have long been a key concern for operators as well as regulators.
US refiners seek alternatives to Canada oil sands crude
The widespread regional fire is putting a big dent in imports from Canada, and while there are other plentiful sources, they will take time to move to the US Midwest.
Apply a short-term, high-temperature carbon steel solution to piping systems
Carbon steel (CS) piping and equipment are used extensively in refineries and petrochemical plants, where fluid temperatures vary from moderate to high for various processes.
Calculate thermal growth of a fractionation tower for piping engineering
The fractionation tower/column is common processing equipment in the petroleum refinery and chemical industry.
Minimize unplanned shutdowns of fired heater operations
There are many potential “rules,” or guidelines, for the safe operation of process heaters.
