Recent changes in API standards affect mechanical integrity evaluations of atmospheric storage tanks

HP Reliability: Spectrum, FFT and cepstrum analyses pinpoint machinery distress

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Bloch, Heinz P.

Familiarity with diagnostic techniques such as FFT spectrum analysis, cepstrum analysis and amplitude demodulation is vital when effectively diagnosing particular performance flaws in rotating machine..

Control corrosion in washwater systems

Fluor: Turner, J.

When operating reactor wash units above design conditions residual salts can cause equipment failures

HP Reliability: Lubrication – not an afterthought

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Bloch, Heinz P.

This new thinking supersedes the old notion that lubrication automation is difficult to cost-justify or that auto-lubrication provisions can be retrofitted as needed. In a highly cost-competitive envi..
