Today most companies around the world are very much aware of the benefits of improved plant reliability and the elements necessary to achieve this, such as the development and implementation of risk-based equipment ...

Increasing demand for LNG has driven the requirement for a significant increase in LNG plant capacity. Qatargas II (QGII), a joint venture initiated by Qatar Petroleum, is committed to accomplish this while reducing ...

In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the user judging one of his machines ...

Low flow operation is a well-known cause of centrifugal pump failures and thus it is a custom to have low flow protection. On the other hand, protecting pumps from excessively high flow is usually not considered during ...
