Advanced Gas Sealing Systems For Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation And Other Extremely Hazardous Duties
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Turbomachinery Laboratory / International Pump User Symposium (21st : 2004)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Centrifugal Pumps In Heated Bitumen Pipeline Service
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
World scale deposits of oil sands (bitumen) in North Alberta are being developed to extract hydrocarbons from the sand. A pilot facility was built to pump raw heavy tar-like bitumen in a heated state through an insulated ...
Seismic Analysis On Modified Service Water Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
At one nuclear power plant, the original essential service water pumps were replaced by another set of pumps with higher capacity. The latter were transferred from another “idle” nuclear power plant. Due to some important ...
Reliability Improvement Of End Suction Pump In Severe Service Through Engineered Component Upgrade
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
An end suction pump for amine service at an Ammonia plant was successfully upgraded by improvement of its components. Two 290 kW (390 HP) pumps, turbine/motor driven, rated for 262 m^3/hr (1,153 gpm) and 271 m (889 ft), ...
Use Of Noncontacting Seals In Volatile Services
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Sealing volatile high-pressure fluids has always been a challenge unless the temperature is cold enough to produce a true liquid state around the seal. Even handling true liquids having low boiling points can result in low ...
API 685 Tutorial
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
For the first time, there is an API standard relating to the use of sealless pump technologies [canned motor pump (CMP) and magnetic drive pump (MDP)]. While sealles technology has been well accepted in chemical process ...
Selection Of Large Water Transport Pumps And Field Experiences
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
This paper covers the selection criteria with respect to suction behavior and optimum efficiency of large water transport pumps to meet various system requirements. Simplicity of pump design and operating behavior of pumps ...
