Thanks everyone for your response,
@Miningman,
The bin is a 40ft height in verticality (not true verticality, as 25years of ops tends to shape a wall).
The bin constricts at the end (the hopper) to fit the chute, which feeds the conveyor. Only the hopper and the chute is lined, the vertical...
Hi,
Here is my scenario; I have a rock bin (a bin made of rock for rocks, yes it is in an underground mine) with a hopper and chute at the bottom discharging to a conveyor.
We want to install a plate at the bottom of the bin to block any rock entry in the chute.
I am using a worst-case scenario...
Hi All,
Thanks for you answers. I would be interested in knowing the other type of corrosion that could happen so here are some specific examples, all those example the connections are flanged :
* Water Tank in stainless : Water inlet & outlet in C.S. : Fluid Water 30C
* Water line in C.S. with...
Hello,
I work in the mining industry, and it is not uncommon to see in the process plants stainless steel equipment’s with inlets & outlets of carbon steel system.
For example, a stainless-steel tank with a plumbed carbon steel inlet and carbon steel outlet. The physical contact between the two...
Hi,
We want to fabricate an orifice plate to reduce a flow in a pipe.
To summarize, we have two pumps running at 1,100m³/hr discharging into a treatment system that cannot handle more than 1,800m m³/hr. The pumps do not have a VFD.
Our quick solution is to reduce the flow using an orifice plate...
Hi,
I have a question regarding adjustment of the gland seal water.
Online I can find a lot of information regarding adjustment of the stuffing box of the pump but nothing on the adjustment of the gland water itself.
My gland water is set-up so right before the pump I have a flow reading and a...
Hi Little Inch,
The total lenght of the line is quite long; it is a tailing line (5km to be extended in the futur). The drain is situated at 182m of the pumps discharge and will drain only a part of the line (the rest will drain in the tailings.
Total Volume to drain : 122.7 cubic meter
Size...
Hello,
I want to calculate how long will a line take to drain, knowing the volume, slope & the fluid’s properties.
My problem is that I do not know which formula to use to calculate this:
• Fluid is in a pipeline so I cannot use Manning’s formula
• Fluid is slurry so I cannot use Hazen-Williams...
Hi,
Before transfer of a truckshop from construction to operation, oil lines will have to be flushed to remove large debris.
I received a flushing procedures from the oil system's supplier. But one thing that is not clear ; there are 5 different oil system, all of them I will use the same...
I do find that the 200mm is bigger than necessary. I am not too worried about the head loss, the pumps curve are design for a efficiency range of between 480ft-920ft head. Which to me I also find is an over design as the total head loss will be at around 300ft. But I am not in the design team, I...
Hi,
I am working on installation of water wells. The design is for 15 wells in total, each wells should give me a maximum of 50GPM. In the design we received each group made of 5 wells is connecting to a 100mm HDPE line and the 3 groups branch together in a 200mm HDPE. At the moment we can only...
