Keep major projects on schedule by supplementing in-house engineering for challenging applications such as the sizing and selection of overpressure protection solutions for high pressure regional natural gas lines and plasma chambers. Is your project held up because of the large amount of safety relief work required?
Sizing and selection of seventy devices of all different types for one project, an alkylation plant in the MOBIL refinery at Paulsboro, NJ.
Design of over pressure protection for a large natural gas line that supplies a couple states and whose pressure exceeds 400 psig (2,800 kPa).
Positive and vacuum safety valve sizing for nitrogen blanketed Oil Tankers.
Positive and vacuum safety valve sizing for marine gasoline barges.
Pressure safety valve sizing for a fuel oil pipeline at Chevron, Perth Amboy.
Multiple trips to NASA in Houston to size and confirm the selection of many safety valves (PSV) and rupture disks. This included pressure relief for a plasma chamber used in the testing of re-entry hardware.
PSV sizing for thermal expansion in blocked electric heaters including ohmic tolerances and voltage tolerances.
PSV sizing for thermal expansion in piping without using 'rules of thumb'.
Relief scenarios include blocked centrifugal and PD pumps, blocked heat exchangers, control valve and regulator full open failures, fires, and boiler PSVs.
Sizing and selection of thermal expansion vessels and associated safety relief valves.
Did you know supercritical relief flows are not modeled by many vendor programs? I have supercritical safety valve sizing experience.
Third party programs may be used to provide dynamic numerical analysis for more modern sizing of overpressure protection.
What do you do with that costly pressure vessel that has been subject to overpressure? What does the ASME Code require? I can and have answered these questions.
Source flow determination requiring advanced understanding of film boiling, nucleate boiling, or free convection heat transfer is available.
