Vibration issue on Compressor in a Nitric Acid Plant (Part 2)
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
“Part 1 of the case history for this return to service follows on from the 2021 ATPS “ presentation which covered off the Expander related issue (labyrinth seal rubs) preventing the NAP 2 plant from successfully re ...
TURBOEXPANDERS IN PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY FOR GREEN HYDROGEN LIQUEFACTION
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Global demands for petrochemicals and green hydrogen usage are on the rise and are expected to continue for at least the next decade. Green hydrogen liquefiers are needed for the worldwide reduction of greenhouse gases and ...
Catastrophic Mechanical Seal Failure Leading to Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC)
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Usage of mechanical seal is widely used in rotating equipment especially pump It prevents fluid or product of the pump from leaking to atmosphere Consequence of seal leaking will be more critical if the product itself is ...
CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR PROLONGED LOW FLOW OPERATION CONSIDERATION FOR OPERATORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Centrifugal compressor is the heart of upstream and downstream oil and gas operation as its ability to move large volume of fluid to its end destination. Centrifugal compressors are designed at certain range of operation. ...
Offline Chemical Wash for Internal Fouled Multistage Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
High pressure lean amine pump performance dropped within a span of about 1 month due to internal fouling. Fouling was caused by accumulation of iron sulphide. To address the fouling, pump would have been to taken out of ...
Introduction of SCC life time estimation for fir tree design on steam turbine
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
MECHANICAL SEALING TECHNOLOGY USED IN MULTIPHASE PUMP APPLICATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Multiphase pumps have demonstrated their capability to operate successfully in pumping the product extremes, means 100% liquid up to 100% gas, as well as solids. This duty is difficult for a pump and thus even more difficult ...
Comparison of contacting wet and dry gas seals for main pipeline pumps in NGL services
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Recent incident reports and studies of pipeline equipment indicate that pump seal performance is likely at the root of a significant increase in releases to the environment. Although these releases are small compared to a ...
TURBOMACHINERY FOR HIGH CO2 APPLICATION: CHALLENGES, OBSTACLES AND LESSON LEARNT
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Turbomachinery is the heart of any platform, which generates power and compresses gas. However, the current practices of turbomachinery are entangled with various challenges and obstacles, which eventually affect the overall ...
THE USE OF ACOUSTIC COMB FILTERS TO AVOID CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLADE-PASS PULSATION INDUCED PIPING VIBRATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Centrifugal compressor blade-pass interaction periodic pulsation can cause acoustic resonance conditions and pipe vibrations in the suction and discharge lines of the compressor. A series of two or more progressively placed ...
