Basic Rule of Pump Piping Design.

Image
  Why users need a piping expansion joint? Installing a new centrifugal pump? After carefully selecting the right size and materials, make sure the new pump is set up for success with proper installation. Setting the base correctly and aligning the pump is crucial. It is also important that piping to the pump is done properly. Pump piping design is sometimes overlooked when setting up new installations. The focus is more on the equipment than the pipes that supply it. However, when installed with inappropriate piping arrangements, pumps can experience premature and repeated failures during the life of the pump. Maintenance teams will regularly repair the pump, effectively treating the symptom instead of the true problem. Knowledge and resources are limited on this topic, except what is found in the installation, operation and maintenance (IOM) manual (which is minimal). But by following these six simple rules, users can avoid premature pump failure and related pump piping pitfalls. 1.

Crude Column & Distillation Column.

  The Crude Column splits raw crude into several product streams that are further processed in other units in the refinery: Light naphtha to light ends recovery. Heavy naphtha to reforming. Kerosene to hydrotreating. Distillate (sometimes called diesel) to hydrocracking or hydrotreating.. INDEX 1. What is Column in Oil and Gas? 2. What is Crude Column? 3.

How many steps in Fractional distillation column? 1. What is Column in Oil and Gas? A distillation column is a tall vessel in which crude oil is heated and separated into its components. The first process in the refining of crude oil is fractional distillation which is carried ou

Basic knowledge of Corrosion.

Image
Corrosion— the deterioration of a metal or its properties —attacks every component at every stage in the life of every oil and gas field.  INDEX:-  Corrosion Why do metals corrode? Corrosion Consequence: Types of Corrosion and It's  how to Control? What causes corrosion? Is Corrosion and rusting same? What is corrosion give three examples? What is the most common cause of Corrosion? Corrosion Corrosion a chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material and its environment that produces a deterioration (change) of the material and its properties. Why do metals corrode? Most metals are found in nature as ores. The manufacturing process of converting these ores into metals involves the input of energy. During the corrosion reaction the energy added in manufacturing is released, and the metal is returned to its oxide state. Metal Ore Reduction (add Electron) Metal Oxidation (strip electron) Corrosion Products. Corrosion Consequence: 1. Downtime  2. Product Loss  3. Effici

Basic knowledge of Orifice Meter.

Image
  Basically, an Orifice meter is referred as a type of flow meter that uses differential pressure measurement techniques and this helps to get discharge rate as well as calculate the flow rate. Orifice Meter  In short, Orifice meters is a device to measure the flow rate or discharge rate of any fluid. Oficemeter is used mainly in robust applications and an Orifice meter works based on the differential measurement technique . INDEX What is the Orifice Meter?
