Tank farm safety design: Updates
New review queries guidelines and various international codes for tank farm bunds
Reduce stress in piping layouts
Several examples illustrate proper designs
Spot energy-savings opportunities in your plant
Choosing the appropriate equipment design and other system components can improve system reliability and save money
Eliminating the risks to starting up your plant right the first time
The ability to bring a new facility online sooner and minimize trips or faults that reduce production volume yields significant financial benefits
Digitize your plant using laser scanning for easier access to information
Integration of facility documentation and laser models enables a single entry point for data
Engineering and economics of CO2 removal and sequestration
Using this technology will help facilities meet environmental regulations
Enhance mercury removal from naphtha
Improved activated carbon provides adsorption of various mercury species
Consider using flowsheet simulators for reactor system design
Rigorous simulation methods assist engineers to develop accurate material/ energy balances for hydrotreating operations
Consider the 'inside-out' approach to optimize distillation operations
Economic value can be obtained by involving heat exchanger and tower internal experts in the initial design development
Comparing historical and laser scan surveys to identify discrepancies
Here's a straightforward technique that enables plant personnel to compare the two data-gathering methods and address variances
