Workshop 2016

Sanchez Rodrigo, Laura

García-Lozano, Javier When working for the first time in LNG terminals, even the most experienced piping engineers should take into consideration the special requirements associated to the cryogenic piping. Once introduced some general considerations, the presentation will focus on the main problems and concerns related to the pipe routing, stress analysis and supports design for…

Remiro Hernández, Jesús Ángel Boil Off Gas (BOG) and End Flash Gas (EFG) handling in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Production Facilities is a key point for the operation. During normal operation continuous flaring is not permitted and the plant is designed such that the generated BOG+EFG is used as fuel gas, via compression systems. These…

Álvarez de los Corrales Melgar, Diego When, in an existing Up-Stream Gas Treatment Plant, a new booster compression station must be installed, there is the possibility that the existing flare system of the Plant is not designed for the flow to be exhausted by the PSV of the new booster compressors. The presentation shows the…

García-Lozano, Javier Pipe stress engineers are used to anticipate a proper functionality and behavior of the piping systems during the engineering phase of a project, ensuring a safe design by means of comprehensive calculations, commonly performed with specialized software as Caesar II. But what happens “afterwards” the plant start-up? The stress engineer can also play…

González Andrino, Ramón When we are designing a piping systems with a not common material sometimes we do not in mind the economic point of view. What is the impact to change from carbon Steel to stainless Steel? What is the impact of the value of nickel in piping materials? What is the distribution of…
