Ensuring the proper functioning of a chemical or oil and gas plant involves countless steps and precautions, but one of the crucial elements is the correct positioning of Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs). Designed to release excess pressure within a system, PSVs act as a safeguard against potential hazards such as explosions or equipment failure. However, […]
Check valves play a pivotal role in industrial piping systems by providing critical backflow prevention, ensuring that processes continue to operate efficiently and safely. However, when carrying out engineering activities, a process engineer should recognize his needs and the main issues the system might face. Based on these issues, the process engineer may add additional […]
Introduction In any oil facility, gas plant, or chemical or petrochemical plant, pressure safety valves (PSVs) play a crucial role in preventing damage and ensuring the safe operation of plant components such as equipment or piping,..etc. While their function might seem simple, their selection, sizing, and operation involve a myriad of factors that require careful […]

Process control is essential in any plant to ensure that the operating parameters are within their acceptable limits. We can see different control loops controlling various equipment in any plant, whether we are talking about oil and gas, petrochemicals, water treatment, pharmaceutical, chemical, or food industry. In all these various industries, process control schemes are […]
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. […]
