Remote Visual Inspection of Steam Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Air Compressor Site Performance Testing: Apparent Simplicity & Practical Complexity
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Air Compressor Site Performance Testing: Apparent Simplicity and Practical Complexity: The performance of a steam turbine driven air compressor deteriorated by 35% over a span of four months. This Case Study elaborates ...
New Technique For Online Washing Of Large Mechanical-Drive Condensing Steam Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
To compete in today’s economic climate, petrochemical plants are strategizing on continuous long-term operation to reduce maintenance costs and increase productivity. This strategy has led some plants to go from eight years ...
High Pressure Oil-Injected Screw Gas Compressors (API 619 Design) For Heavy Duty Process Gas Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Oil-free screw compressors have been used for process gas application since the 1970s. Oil-flooded screw compressors have been used in many process related applications since the 1980s. Inclusion of oil-flooded screw ...
Balance This! Case Histories From Difficult Balance Jobs.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
There are many good references for classical balance problems; however, specific ways of handling non-ideal conditions are rarely presented. Therefore, this tutorial focuses on six case histories, which illustrate actual ...
Discussion groups for the Proceedings of the 33rd Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Pumping Oil Sand Froth
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Froth is the basis to the extraction of bitumen from oil sand. Its components include sand, bitumen, water, and air. The technology of extraction and processing is evolving toward lower temperature of operation where the ...
Reliability Improvement At Petrotrin Refinery - Pumps At No. 8 CDU. 1997 To 2003
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Demonstration Of Cavitation Life Extension For Suction-Stage Impellers In High Energy Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Cavitation occurring in high-energy pump impellers often results in material erosion and system instabilities. Excessive erosion rates compromise life and increase ownership costs through higher maintenance and reduced ...
