Introduction Pumps are an essential component of many industrial processes. They are used to transfer fluids from one location to another, and their performance is critical to the efficiency and safety of the process. When the operating conditions of a pump change, it can have a significant impact on the pump’s performance. In this article, […]
Towers represent a major component in most refining and petrochemical processes. In any major plant, you can see one tower or more. An efficient operation of a tower is a bit complicated and depends on many factors. If you’d like to see the content of this article as a video, you can check out our […]
So how do the changes in gas conditions or physical properties affect the performance of a compressor? You can check out this video or otherwise continue below: To understand this point, let’s plot the performance curve or Q-H curve of a centrifugal compressor, and the performance curve of a reciprocating compressor. As we see, Q […]
Suppose we have a pump that draws some fluid from a vessel. The pump flow is controlled on the discharge line and there is a minimum flow controller. So we need to determine the pump specifications to perform the required operation. In order to specify a pump correctly, we need to carry out several calculations. […]
In any plant, we find lots of piping with different sizes to transport different fluids between equipment. We see how a piping engineer considers complex connections between lines based on the requirements of a process engineer. Here comes the important role of pipe sizing activity, which is a major activity within process design. Role of […]
