1. Yes, the separation gas source is from common header from utility plant which distributes to other points also. So, may be some NRV is passing and some hydrocarbon mixing in N2 - a very hazardous condition. We will get the N2 sample checked immediately. 2. Oil for all machines is from one of...

Same phenomenon is happening in crack gas compressor, ethylene refrigeration compressor, propylene refrigeration compressor, and other three compressors which handles hydrogen and mixtures of hydrocarbons. If we agree that particles are coming from cooler, I am not able to find answer why...

Thanks All for your inputs. I am sorry to reply late. We have collected samples today for RPVOT, MPC, Ruler, IPC tests. We are not finding filters choked physically, our R&D team did the tests by dissolving the paper filters in Toluene. First time they did find rust particles. Source of which is...

We are facing a strange problem of lube oil filter plugging after overhauling of the centrifugal compressors. We overhauled 6 compressor trains (turbine driven) in Oct'23. All machines are having identical lube oil system. Along with overhauling, lube oil for all machines was drained, tanks were...

Why there is Siphon breaker given in the lube oil tank of compressors? I read API 614, 4th edition. It is mentioned there ( API 614, 4th edition-1.3.10) But I could not understand it. I could not understand what is oil conditioner. What is its purpose? please help

Thanks BigInch

Thanks robyengIT. Yes, the pocket size is 420mm. I couldn't understand the 2nd solution exactly. The machine is already on the foundation, so it is very difficult to do any changes in pockets.

We are going to do pocket grouting for a compressor. The side walls of the pockets are smooth. Will the smooth walls create any adhering problem for grout material. Grout material is : Flowgrout EP(R). We have already placed the machine on foundation. So, if we want to chip side walls of the...

Ok! Thank you!!

Thank you JJPelin and rotw for your informative and clear replies. I got my doubts clear. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your replies. The shims i am talking about are for levelling of machine skid while installing. We will definitely be using shims if we don't get readings below 0.05mm/m in Engineer's Master Level. But, assume that we got the required levelling without using any shims. Then also, is it...

We are going to install a centrifugal compressor. We are planning to do it without using any shims above the soleplates. My question is "is it advisable/necessary to have a minimum few shims below the foot? If yes, then what amount of shims thickness is required?"

We are going to use primary plan 02 in slurry pump (20% by volume, slurry concentration). Is it feasible?

Rotw Thanks ...will take your advice positively.

Kacarrol and biginch thanks. The difference betweem PSV and PRV seems quite tricky. The sudden opening and proportional opening. This is uncommon knowledge. Now, I can share it with my friends.

Littleinch, I already had read that thread. I got what it says. But, what I want to know is how the throttling (i.e., reduced pressure) ultimately results into reduced flow and constant pressure at compressor's outlet.

Though PSV is generally used for gaseous fluid and PRV for liquid fluid, why PSV is used in lube oil system?

Ok, it is clear that Inlet Guide Vanes effectively controls the flow rate. But, what I do not understand is the exact thermodynamic or physical phenomenon happening at IGVs. How they reduce the outlet flow for same inlet flow?
