Reliability: Could a company be its own worst enemy?
In a recent conversation with a “pump veteran,” we explored his 33 yr of experience with pump original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) from 1984–1997 and with a widely known non-OEM (1997–2017).
Optimize operating parameters for C3 splitters to accommodate feed changes
In the oil and gas sector, fractionation is a vital part of every plant.
Safety in design during mechanical engineering
After a process engineer has completed preliminary documents such as process flow diagrams, material and energy balance, piping and instrumentation diagrams, equipment data sheets, process control philosophies, identifications of the hazardous nature of raw materials, chemicals, byproducts and final products, process equipment layout drawings (plans and elevations), unit plot plans, etc., these documents are issued to other disciplines to carry out further engineering.
Process safety incidents involving simultaneous operations
Some process safety incidents occur as the result of simultaneous or sequential occurrences of operations or activities that interfere or clash with each other.
Minimize engineering errors with competency and proper engineering review
Industry has seen numerous engineering errors during the commissioning phase of projects.
