    Pump power calculation

    Thanks, in my formula Ph =(q*rho*g*h)/3.6*10^6 Pshaft = Ph/motorefficiency q = m3/h rho = kg/m3 g = 9,81 h = m "Math is the ruler of your potential succes...."

    Pump power calculation

    I have the following situation: 3 coolingwaterpumps, 3 different coolingwater users with gascoolers, coolingwaterpressure reading, coolingwaterflowreading. Can I use the formula as mentioned below for calculation of the pump power? We don't have an accurate powerreading on the pumpmotors, but...

    Derime of air sepration unit

    Dear airseperator, Most important thing when shutting down the ASU is to purge the liquid which can contain hydrocarbons. So what we do when we shut down an ASU for a period of time we drain the lox from the main condensor and we drain the enriched air. At an standstill, there will be an...

    Optimal adjustment cooling water Turbocompressor

    Thanks for your answer David. Your right, we want to maintain an optimum outlet temperature for the cooled streams, in that way the compressor runs the most efficient. We don't really have a power concern. I mean, not in a way that we we're scared by a suddenly high power bill. Our power bill...

    Optimal adjustment cooling water Turbocompressor

    In order to optimize our cooling water system we are investigating the adjustments of cooling water of our turbocompressor gascoolers. The way we adjust the cooling water till now is: Set the total cooling water flow to a point around the value given by the manufacturer. Balans the cooling water...

    Reverse osmosis for cooling water blowdown

    Thanks to all, in our system we have a sand filter, a partial stream of the cooling water is filtered here. Als we have chemical treatment, anti scaling and chlorination for bio control. From what I've understood from your answers: It's a complex and expensive thing to use the osmosis. Thanks...

    Reverse osmosis for cooling water blowdown

    I'm working on a review of one of our cooling systems. One of the things is saving on supply water. I’ve been reading about reusing the blow-down water of the cooling tower as supply water. Our system has a blow-down of app. 28 m3/h. In a reusing system, the water is fed through a Reverse...

    Argon purification

    In our plant we have an Argon purification unit. Crude argon (at about 100mbar) with 2,5% Oxygen is the feed to a waterringpump, then at a pressure of 2,5 bar the crude argon is fed into a DEOXO unit, together with Hydrogen to remove the oxygen from the Argon. From the DEOXO, the gas goes into a...

    Oxygen power plant power usage

    First, it would have been better to ask this question in the Cryogenic forum here. What do you mean by "similar size to what is used in hospitals"? I'm not sure, but I think for a recent oxygenplant, the specific energy consumption will be around 0,69 kWh/Nm3. Cryotechnic "Math is the ruler...

    Biofuel made from power plant CO2

    You're right, the CO2 circle of plants is neutral. What the plants need to grow, will be released later. In old days, the greenhouse owners fired up they're heaters during the summertime to produce they're own CO2 in the greenhouse. So they didn't use it for the heat, but they want the CO2...

    Biofuel made from power plant CO2

    In Holland (the Netherlands) there is a very succesfull project like this. They used a large old (not more in use) pipeline that runs from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. This pipeline runs through a very large greenhouse array, and starts close to a oilrefinery. The hydrogenplant (steamreformer) at...

    1 booster/expander in use, 1 booster/expander deriming

    In one of our ASU's we have 2 booster/expander combinations in the same air stream. Normally we only have 1 of them in production. We only use both combinations during startup of the plant, or in the case we need much extra liquid. We used to isolate and derime the unused combination. Now, I...

    Hydrogen Storage

    You have 2 options: 1. Install backup cilinderspack/trailer and a H2 compressor and compress a part of the H2 product from the PSA in the backup cilinders. 2. Install a backup cilinderpack/trailer who will be supplied by an gascompany (like Linde or AirProducts) With option 1 you have to...

    How big is the backup you need? In what time must the backup be in operation after the PSA goes offstream? What's the pressure of the H2 you need? Cryotechnic "Math is the ruler of your potential succes...."

    Liquid CO2 storage

    @Montemayor, You are suggesting to design the tank to an higher MAWP. I was thinking today and thought, what would be more expensive? 1. Design the tank to a high MAWP. 2. Design the tank to a temperature of -78dgr? I mean, designing the tank to a temperature of -78dgr, would be the best...

    Liquid CO2 storage

    @montemayor Excelent post! I never looked at it that way. In the business I'm working I don't have much to do with CO2. (at least not yet...) But it's very interesting. When I read your post it was all clear to me and actually it's so easy. Instead of a PSV or rupture disc, what would you...
