Do any of you know of a software where you can model some kind of 3D model of a watertube boiler and track repairs, replacements, inspections, etc that are made? Currently doing this with spreadsheets and looking for a better option. Thanks

Hi all, I have multiple CO2 bottles connected by a header to two regulators in series. The second regulator acts as the protection device in case the first stage regulator fails. I am having an issue where the second regulator tends to freeze up due to the JT effect. This is a high flow...

The way I would look at a pinhole leak is using the formulas available in Cameron Hydraulic Data under Flow Through Orifices and Nozzles which I think you did and use the results as the worst-case scenario.

Great, thanks for the info!

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all, I am looking for some information on flotation cells sizing and engineering in the mining industry. Would any of you have a handbook to recommend? Thanks! IHQ22

Would a simple bearing or angular bearing work for your application?

What is the size of the wet well and how is the pump controlled? floats or a level sensor? The number of start/stop is normally determined by the wet well size. If at all possible, you can lower the amount of daily start/stop by raising the pump start float. On the pipe size, I would not go...

Thank you all for the pointers! Cheers, IHQ22

Thanks for the info. What I am looking for is to slope the pipe so it drains back to the tank. For a water line, you would normally look at 1/4" per 1'. I was wondering if there is an acid equivalent. Thanks.

Good day all, I am trying to find a reference or good practice for the slope of a sulfuric acid line. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you all for your help!

Hi LittleInch, Like always thank you for your contribution to my post. I am not talking about a system in particular. I am only looking for a rule of thumb or guidance as to when each type of system is most appropriate. Thanks!

Hi Keith, Thanks for your answer! By head tank, I mean large elevated tanks where the water is pumped to create constant pressure. They are normally used on industrial sites such as mines.

Good day all, I would like to solicit your knowledge and experience regarding pumping systems requiring constant pressure. When would you select a VFD or a head tank? When would you consider each option and why? Thanks! IHQ22

Thanks LittleInch, I will explore this see if this is something we can propose to the contractor. Cheers, IHQ22

Hi LittleInch, I am well aware that the pipeline needs to be made safe prior to work. What I am really trying to determine is if someone more knowledgable then I can suggest a better method then purging with water before we go ahead with it. The real problem is the pipeline location, making...
