I have a client who is building some surface piping on a water injection system. Code is CSA Z662-07. In the past they have built all of this piping from Sch 80 316/316L material. I was asked to approve a new installation that would be "identical" to the installations they have done for the past...
Had a question from a client and I'm not sure where to look.
We have are installing an Oil Filled Trasformer is spill containment required in Alberta? What Directive (ERCB) would this be covered in?
If someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I'm designing a new piping system for a client, They have an inhouse specification that indicates that the maximum allowable pressure drop in a pipe carying dry fuel gas is 11.5kPa/100m.
The majority of the piping system meets this requirement howeve there are short sections of pipe near the...
I gave my two weeks notice at my firm 1 week ago, I am leaving because the company i am working with couldn't keep me busy and I was very bored at work.
After I gave my notice no one communicated to me at all last week. On Thursday I sent my boss a transition plan that wrapped up all of the...
I have a pretty simple question.
I have a Design Temp of 70degC (158degF). When obtaining the Max allowable stress from table A3 in B31.1 can I interpolate to get S at my design temperature.
ie.
From -20 to 100F S= 16700psi
Up to 200F S= 14300psi
Can I interpolate and use S= 15308psi?
Or...
I'm looking for some career advice.
I recently left Company A to join Company B, this involved relocating to a new city. Unfortunately with the housing market slide in Alberta, I have been unable to sell my house in my old town and am stuck paying $5000/month between mortgage in the old...
Some debate at our plant regarding cooling of the sweet gas from the contactor.
Original design of the plant was (following sweet gas flow) contactor --> knockout (to recover amine) --> Dehydration (glycol, Refrigeration, and Lean Oil)
We are installing two new contactors, and the operations...
Hi all,
I've got a question pertaining to the installation of a Rich amine filter in an existing facility.
The question pertains to what to do with the amine in the filter housing when it comes time to change the filters.
Filter will be a standard horizontal cartridge type housing.
We are...
Does anyone have any experience measuring entrained liquids from a gas stream.
We know we have a liquid carryover problem from our inlet separators but would like to quantify and identify the liquid.
We are proposing taking a gas sample and analyzing with a Hot GC run to charachterize the...
Our plant is a two train split flow (lean/semi lean)sour gas plant, running DEA. We currently run 4 HP contactors with one regen tower. There is a plan to bring on a significant amount of gas in the near future that is higher in trace sulphur compounds than anything we have dealt with in the...
ASME B31.3 states that an “owners inspector” must have 10years experience or an Engg degree an 5 years experience.(para 340) Is this also extended to the minimum qualifications to witness a hydrotest? Seems like overkill to read a couple of gauges, check calibration sheets, and check for leaks...
I work in a rather old sour gas plant, it has been brought to my attention that we do not have any shell side protection on the air after cooler on our instrument air compressor.
The shell side is Cooling water @40psig while the air going into the tube side is @55oC and 125psig.
The design...
