There are two scenarios I'm looking at:
1.We have a reactor where if you add a raw material too quickly or loose cooling, you can have a reaction that created CO2 that can build up in the reactor and over pressure it.
2. On the same reactor, we have nitrogen blanket on it and the nitrogen has to...
I don't know if I'm over thinking this, so I thought I would reach out.
I'm doing the HAZOP for a new plant we're constructing. The other engineers have installed valves before a pressure transmitter and a conservation vent. They want to take credit in the HAZOP for the high pressure interlock...
We just finished our PHA on the process, which is covered by PSM. One of the items I had brought up was when was the last time it was inspected, and that's when we saw that it was never inspected as well as a number of other pieces of critical equipment, so one of our recommendations is to...
Well that was uncalled for. I thought the reason of forums like this was to ask for advice from fellow engineers. I'm the only one where I work, so I didn't have another knowledgeable person to ask.
I know off API510 for pressure vessels and of other standards, but I'm used to using it for...
I'm working on developing an MIQA program for my plant and can't find anything on how often shell and tube heat exchangers. We've never done inspections on the heat exchangers before, but they have been in service for over 10 years and has hazardous material going through them on once side and...
I was doing an audit of my plant and found several limit switches in our plant are Class 1, Div 2 but the electrical classification has the plant as Class 1, Div 1 for ethyl acetate. Are these switches okay to use in our plant or should they really be Class 1, Div 1?
