Design operations-and-maintenance-friendly skid-mounted units
Skid-mounted units are omnipresent in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI), as facilities are scattered in remote locations, and site construction is time-consuming and expensive. Skid units are equally popular in downstream refineries and the chemical processing industry (CPI).
Codes and Standards: Overcome technical difficulties in field pumps ordered to API 610/ISO 13709
The continued objective of this column series is to increase awareness of code requirements, interpretations and limitations as they stand today, and the options available to engineers for “alternative engineering.”
Design operations-and-maintenance-friendly pressure vessels—Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, the assistance provided by standardizations to gain improved vessel performance—vessel outer diameter (OD), component metallurgies, manways and saddles—was discussed.
Design operations-and-maintenance-friendly pressure vessels—Part 1
Many scholarly articles have been published on the design, selection and fabrication of pressure vessels.
Codes and Standards: Explore alternative engineering options for code requirements
This article is the second under the “Codes and Standards” series.
Codes and Standards: How much fireproofing do we need?
This article is the first under the Codes and Standards series. The purpose of this series is to make readers aware of code requirements, the interpretations and the limitations as they stand today, and what engineers can do as an alternative engineering. This series is based on the actual implementation of what is narrated and the satisfactory experiences drawn.
