Oliver Piay, Karen Slug flow is a phenomenon that occurs under special circumstances of two phase gas – liquid flow. It is the most serious scenario in two phase flow as it involves a moving liquid mass pushed by gases in between. In most of engineering companies the effect of slug flow is considered by…

Méndez Vilariño, Daniel Every time a positive displacement machine needs to be installed it is necessary to guarantee equipment operation free of pulsation. During this presentation we will analyze minimum requirements and practical solutions for pulsation studies. Also recommendations about when how and where implement them will be presented. Idea is to present a follow…

Oliver Piay, Karen When the space/ access constrains or the excessive magnitude of the axial thrust imposed by the unbalance area of the bellow, under internal pressure is a main concern in designing the Piping System, the only solution is to use a pressure balance expansion joint. The theoretical basis and example of use of…

Vázquez, José Antonio Experimental modal analysis and operating deflection shapes (ODS) are powerful tools in vibration analysis and machinery troubleshooting. However, the plant machinery engineer often doesn’t believe such techniques are available given a lack of advanced measurement equipment. This tutorial presents best practices with simplified experimental modal analysis and ODS techniques that can be…

Rodríguez Fernández, Ángel Some Thermosolar power plants use molten salt in order to be able to produce steam after the sunset or during cloudy days. Some of them heats directly the molten salt with the sun light and other ones heats it using a heat transfer fluid (HTF). Molten salt can be considered as an…

Oliver Piay, Karen A piping system is the most effective and commonly use way of carry fluids in the industry. For example, in a petrochemical industry the piping system represent around 35% of all industry material and requires around 40% the construction and erection man hours and it could require up to 50% of engineering…

Tirenti, Javier Pressure vessels are tailored items, they are designed and manufactured to meet a specific set of requirements. Pressure vessels present very few standard elements (as the case of pipes and flanges), therefore these equipment must be fabricated based on Best Practices and Lessons learned. In this seminar you will learn the shortcuts required…
