Heat Transfer
Optimize energy savings on steam generation
Steam-turbine selection involves evaluating heat duty vs. work requirements in critical service units
Prevent leaks in heat exchangers
Changes in design code lead to solutions for chronic leaking glycol exchanger
Improve heat exchanger design
Using simulation improves impingement device application in exchangers
Key factors in selecting refractories
Advanced ceramics perform well in many applications
Consider low fouling technology for 'dirty' heat transfer services
Advances in heat exchanger designs mitigate fouling problems with crude oil preheater trains while conserving energy and cutting operating costs
Typical fired heater problems and root causes
A quick look at symptoms can provide operational answers
Improve vertical reboiler piping analysis
Vertical reboilers (shell-and-tube heat exchangers) are widely used in the petrochemical industry for performing the necessary vaporization function for various types of distillation columns/separatio..
Optimizing crude oil fired heaters
Case study shows best ways to improve efficiency
Rethink placement of preflash drum in crude preheat train network
Strategic location of the preflash drum not only resolves network problems, but, in some cases, reduces operating costs
Selecting the right steam trap
In addition to the type, consider the installation, maintenance and wasted energy costs during its operating life
