    What is typical Plant Availability for Crude Oil Storage Tank Terminal

    Thanks all for the response. Ok, we are doing the feasibility study for the crude oil terminal and pumping system with pipeline across the country. I know in order to get the fairly accurate data for the PA (Plant Availability) is to perform RAM study, but we are at the early feasibility...

    What is typical Plant Availability for Crude Oil Storage Tank Terminal

    Hello my virtual friends and expertise! We are currently performing feasibility study for the crude oil storage tank terminal and pipeline. In the terminal there will be few storage tanks (more than 30) and a series of pumping station. The required no of pump is series is 13 nos (assuming all...

    Pig lauchers

    Hi It does depend on the pressure rating of your system. What normally we used, for liquid system having 600# and above, a double block and bleed valve is required. For gas system, for system having 900# and above, a double block and bleed valve is required. If H2S in the gas stream is high...

    Peng-Robinson equation of state

    You can refer to many Chemical Engineering Thermodynamic book. You can also refer to Process Engineering Simulation model such as HYSYS Thermodynamic Base manual or PRO/II Technical reference data. thanks

    Full Well Stream

    Full Well Stream is the total wellfluid compositional data i.e. total wellfluid flowrate from particular well which consists total oil/condensate rate, gas rate and free water. Hope this help

    Any experience and knowledge on Hydraulic Lift?

    Hi there... Does anybody know and have any experience on the Hydraulic Lift system for enhance recovery of the well? I know one of the method for enhance recovery is using Gas Lift, ESP, Gas Injection and water injection. Any source of info abt Hydraulic Lift system is highly appreciated. Thanks!

    Standard available motor size in the market

    I need to know the standard available motor size in the market, used for the refinery and petrochemical industry. If possible I need to know the power factor and the efficiency (at full load) of such motor. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!!!

    Equivalent pipe length of reducing elbows & tees

    You can also refer to API RP 14E. It does give some equivalent length for the fittings.

    B31.3 Class M

    sorry djwright Since your H2S is high (0.45 mole %) (NB: my previous H2S content is only 3500 ppm(v) and pressure is bit high than yours), then I would say that your fluid/gas service is fall under Class M fluid as per B31.3. Thanks

    B31.3 Class M

    Hi there. I'm not mechanical engineer expert and not even mechanical engineer, but I've work on this fluid, with advise of my mechanical engineer last time. When I refer back to my latest B31.3 copy, and my previous work, one of the classification of class M fluid is having toxic gas in the...

    Hydrostatic pressure rise

    Thermal expansion as a result of the blocked-in liquid exposed to the higher fluid operating temperature within the system. For example, blocked in liquid and expose to hot sunny condition. If the operating condition of the fluid is above hot sun condition, then it is not a problem, as the temp...

    implementing codes/standards in a refinery

    Please be specific in your thread. There are various API and BS code for the various unit of operation, eg pumps have their own code of standard.

    Relief Valve Fire Sizing - Pressure Vessel

    YS-1. A restriction orifice (RO) is normally be installed to limit the flow, instead of the depressurisation valve. In this case, the RO will be installed together with the blowdown valve (which will be actuated automatically upon detection of fire, or during ESD system). As mention by TD2K...
