Tower internals inspection
Hello there, Well, a 50mm of thickness should maintain all the heat you need to do the thermal inspection on it. How tall is your tower? You already considered to cute your insulation to do the test? It will be economic available? If you have an idea of what tray the problem is you could cut...- YBrooman

Blanketing
The area classification will depend on flash point. As the F.P. of diesel is something around 65ºC (145ºF) and you store it around 30ºC or a low temperature, there is no problem of hazardous area classification. I don't see API 500 yet, but I already work with IEC 60079-10. You should see both...- YBrooman

On-line Viscosity Analyzer
Thanks for the answer Well.. I want to control the flowrate of the reactants based on the viscosity of the outlet of reactor. But sometimes the temperature can be XºC or YºC. I can use the agitator's power input and send a signal to a control valve, but it will take a long to study how is the...- YBrooman

On-line Viscosity Analyzer
Hello All, Has anyone knowledge in the use of on-line viscosity analyzer to a non-newtonian fluid? I try to search for suppliers in the internet but I found just to newtonian fluid. I'm in doubt if I use my agitator's power input or to install a on-line analyzer after the reactor. Best regards- YBrooman

Relieving temperature vs Design temperature
The PSV is attached to the flare system or to environment? In which pressure operates your vessel? It's below 12barg? If so, why don't you set your PSV to open at 12barg? If the temperature go high the pressure will increase to 12 barg then your PSV opens before the saturated vapor and start to...- YBrooman

Relieving temperature vs Design temperature
Sheiko, What you have to have in mind is that in a fire case the PSV should opens first than the temperature goes high and depending on the flowrate in the outlet of the PSV the temperature of the fluid don't increase anymore. And, in a fire case you should be worried about some other things...- YBrooman
