Piping
Fabrication of clad equipment and piping—Part 1
For pressure vessels, heat exchangers and piping in corrosive services, the materials in contact with the process are often required to be high alloys to provide a reliable service life.
Conceptualizing a mega-integrated refinery and petrochemical complex: A case study
<i>Integration</i> is the new keyword for sustainability and profit in today’s oil and gas market scenario.
Refining—The evolving base oil industry: The Group 1 shift
In April, ExxonMobil launched its 2018 Basestocks Industry Pulse Report. Supported by survey responses from 300 base oil decision makers around the world, the report reveals their own perspectives into the key market trends and industry drivers in the base oils business.
Understand API and ASME standards to prevent oversizing PSVs
If you have ever sized or selected a pressure safety relief valve (PSV) using vendor sizing programs or hand calculations, you have probably run into a strange anomaly.
Importance of welding procedure software
Welding is an ocean of substance, a technique without which the joining of metals is impossible.
Built-up backpressure at the outlet flange of a pressure relief valve
Even for pressure relief valves (PRVs) discharging directly to the atmosphere through short tailpipes, API 520 Part 11 warns that choked flow may develop at the outlet flange, resulting in high backpressure.
Building blocks of process safety
Major incidents continue to strike the oil and gas industry at regular intervals.
Ensure a truly rigorous relief valve sizing method
Pressure relief valves (PRVs) protect equipment from excessive overpressure and, in case of emergency situations, they should ensure a sufficient discharge of mass to reduce the pressure below the recommended pressure limits.
Simplification reduces risks and cuts costs
A facility’s ability to operate safely is the determining factor in its success or failure.
How pipeline management becomes part of a plant safety strategy
A typical refinery or chemical plant contains miles of pipelines.
