A multi-stage centrifugal pump is proposed for an application with 60 psig (ANSI 150#) suction pressure and 2500 psig discharge pressure (Ansi 1500#). The pump is equipped with discharge shutdown and check valves. A question was raised related with the possibility of high pressure water...
In order to maintain the pressure of an atmospheric refrigerated tank within 1 to 5" H2O for nC4 storage, it has been proposed to circulate a portion of the liquid product through a propane chiller. The amount of refrigerant will be regulated to maintain desired tank pressure. Although from the...
A question has been brought regarding the need of PWHT piping in amine serive for CO2 removal only to prevent SCC. Can somebody provide more information as to what is the corrosion mechanism leading to SCC in amine service?
We're proceeding with the design of an amine unit. The carbon filter design includes a Johnson screen with 0.011" slots. A question has been brought to determine if a guard filter is required downstream of the carbon bed to prevent carryover of carbon particles into the regeneration column. I...
We have a gas plant where design temperature of carbon steel vessel is -20 F. We want to modify that temperature to -40 F. What test or post-treatment would be necessary (i.e., stress relieve or Charpy test?
