Thank you everybody !!!

Hi everybody ! A quick question : My supplier of salted water filters has put the galvanic anodes in the top part of the filters. The entrance of the filters is by the side approximatively at 4/5 of the height of the filters, so the anodes won't be in the water, except during the washing (the...

Thank you dhengr !

Hi ! Could I use this thread to ask a few questions (I did not find in API 620 / 650 hints or answers regarding these issues) : - in designing my storage tank, are there some guidelines regarding the diameter / height ratio to observe ? - do I need to leave some minimum space around the tank...

Thanks ! Unfortunately, my level won't be constant in the tank.But of course I could design a weir box and when my operator want to remove the oil phase, he will artifically raise the level in the tank. So there would be no solution with a baffle if I reinforce it or else ? My constraint is...

Thank you fegenbush ! I'm not sure I can have an oil skimmer as my oil is very paraffinic and I would fear to have the skimmer stucked on its pole if my heat control (heat coil) does not work well / it is too high for the coil... IFRs : what is a saw-tooth weir box ? Thank you !

I have looked at API 620 / 650, and I don't tjink they ever talk about this kind of issues ? Thank you again !

Hello everybody ! I am designing a new oily water tank, and I want to have a compartment with a baffle so that the oil at the surface can flow from the main compartment (the tank) to the oil compartment. Are there any norm / constraint that I need to know ? For example, I have uploaded some...

Thank you, I looked up ASME B.16-5 and everything was there !

Hello everybody ! A quick question as I cannot figure it out by myself... One of my piping classes is for water, it is a carbon steel 600 lbs rating with a CA of 1,27 mm. Material is as API 5L grade B. My Temp / pressure couples are as follows : Pressure (bar) : 102 102 92.7 Temp (°C) ...

2,5m/s will be for rated flow, half for normal flowrate ! My pump is single stage, single suction, radially split volute type

Centifugal pump and the flange is also 12" ! (why would it likely be larger ?)

Thank you littleInch ! If the problem is only the pressure drops due to friction then I won't worry, I have only a few dozen meters between the tank and the pump... :)

Actually I was not very accurate, the water is coming from a tank, and the LSLL is several meters high, so no problem with NPSH (and 80C is design temp, it will be around 40°C). But just to understand, what is the risk with the velocity ?
