How is a normal compressor shutdown can you explain in short steps , I know first anti surge valve is opened and then it is tripped via the motor or turbine but in case of emergency shutdown , power most likely goes first followed by ASV opening, I feel both have the same impact that is Settle...
Can anyone suggest me any resources or guidelines to fill a particular instrument ipds like on off valve , flowmeter and control valve particularly because I have seen everyone using different max min values as a percentage of the normal value like flow pressure temperature. I want to know and...
Hello all,
I have a general question as to why the utility delta T across a cooling tower or chiller (water based liquid utilies) are we considering 5C. What is special about this number , also currently my CW delta T in plant is 2C , so is my statement wrong that : Some heat exchange Equipment...
For any utility piping with a control valve on return side , controlling temperature of a equipment or process line in circulation. Do you think it will be a good idea to put a bypass valve for the control valve or will it be hazard that on opening bypass process temperature can go out of...
Dear all,
Please find the attachment where we are using steam Saturated (3.5kg/cm2g) for heating through limpet to keep internal material in liquid state (melting point 63C). I have two doubts , considering the size of this tank the height , is it a good idea to use one single limpet through the...
Hello all ,
Can you guide me how to know utility flow rate for maintaining temperature of a storage tank at 80-85C.
Storage tank is storing a product of melting point 65C , inlet lines are electrical traced & coming at 80 C. How to do energy balance for storage tank to maintain that...
Can anyone share the experience of how they developed the control logic for hydrogen feeding for a batch hydrogenation reactor?
Was it a pressure control loop or flow control loop or cascade system. Please help
Or although I doubt but was it a temperature loop
I have a query , we have a reactor pump system (working+standby) same suction line obviously.
Shutoff pressure for both we are getting different. How is this possible?
Impeller we have checked for both & are matching to the specification and with each other.
Is RPM a possibility, that one of...
Can anyone send me draft P&ID of a static melt crystallizer used in commercial stage for knowing proper instrumentation and operation? Also please share if any major equipment fault you have encountered or mistakes made too often that you think. Currently in India, this tech is not used much and...

Can anyone help me which software to use for graphite block HE design/simulation for validation purpose ?
I have the process data with me and want to use it for arriving at block dia, area, noof holes.i.e the process design
Please suggest how to decide set pressure of a Pvrv/breather valve. Size can be established by api 2000 but set point ?
We use storage tanks atmospheric for storing many solvents like mdc , toluene , acetonitrile etc. Please suggest how to decide the set point.
Hello , i am in a batch Industry. Wanted to know regarding some pump terms.
The flow that is reqd for transferring from one tank to other that we get from a BFD/PFD that is the normal flow ? Then what is the rated flow of a pump ? The flow/head mentioned with the tag number all are rated? And...
What does a cooling tower cell mean? Individual towers? If a cooling tower is 2000TR of 4 cells..so each will be 500. And do the cells work in parallel or series
Can anyone point out any sites to download api standard PDFs for free....or i need api 2000 7th edition. What difference is it from the 5th edition of 1998 . I prepared a spreadsheet with the old one....does it still give proper undisputed results?
