@TGS4 It seems pipe stress engineering is as technical you can get in the mechanical engineering world? @zdas04 Most of my coworkers believe the designs that they farm out to OEM/EPCs is theirs. They dont realise that they are just baby sitters. It makes me sick to see engineers turned to...

Thank you David & TGS4 for your insightful responses. Unfortunately you just confirmed what I originally suspected. O&G company engineers are just "paper pushers" The area I feel engineers are allowed to do some actual engineering as opposed to project management is in the actual processing...

All, I am a mechanical engineer working for an oil & gas company as a project engineer doing maintenance & expansion projects. I feel my role is mostly baby sitting other engineers at consulting companies called EPCs (engineering procurement construction) who also just oversee...

I apologize for the duplicate posts. @moderators can you please delete this thread?

Thank you for the responses! @GHartmann The spec you attached was very helpful.....below are some answers to some of your questions the system has been isolated and is under constant N2 purge both the condensate system and the inlet separator require flushing I would imagine? I plan on...

All, I work at a processing plant and have been tasked to re-commission an inlet separator and its associated filters,strainer and condensate wash system that has been under N2 purge and out of service for 13 years. I have never attempted such a daunting task and was wondering if the senior...
