Introduction to thermosolar power plants and piping design issues

Rodríguez Fernández, Ángel Oil crisis in the late 70s forced to investigate and develop new renewable technologies, between them the thermosolar power plants were developed. In the late 90s several companies started to investigate again with that technology and in the first decade of this century, this technology has been developed and a great number…

Increase your process efficiency and flexibility @ low CAPEX

Bellentani, Vittorio In the Oil&Gas industry many processes require centrifugal pumps and compressors to supply variable values of pressure and flow rate; this can be achieved with various advantages through speed regulation, which is feasible through different driver concepts, briefly compared in the present work. Special focus is set on hydrodynamics combined with fixed speed…

Multistage Pumps for light hydrocarbons – How to ensure you get the best pump for the service

Bradshaw, Simon With the growth of fracking, light hydrocarbons (SG < 0.7) became a preferred feedstock in chemical processes. Many services require high pressures from multistage pumps. These have specific design and application challenges that are unique to this service. Addressing these is critical to achieving good pump reliability. This seminar addresses the following challenges:…

Pressure balance expansion joints. Theoretical basis and examples of use

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…
