I am looking for some background information as to advantages and disadvantages (technical and commercial) of refrigerated or pressurized storage (vessels and spheres) of LPG at a terminal. Typical storage quantity is 30,000 m3.
Additionally, I'd also like to understand how choosing either...
I am currently involved in transferring a plant design for Asia to the UK.
As a starting point I would like to specify the typical climatic conditions for the UK. Does anyone know where I can find this data.
Typically I need
Temperatures max and min
Atmospheric Conditions
Rainfall
Humidity...
Its not the pounds I'm thining of.
I want to be able to work out how much btu's or kwh's are required to generate 10 barg steam. Then I can use this to work out a 'cost of steam generation'
I want to calculate the cost of raising steam from a natural gas fired boiler.
If I have mains uninterruptasble natural gas at say 2 pence per KWh and a boiler that is 80% efficient how do I calculate the cost of raising 10 barg saturated steam?
I think it will work out about £15 per te but I...
If I have a 10 mm particle (assume spherical) with a density of 200 kg/m3, falling vertically under gravity into an horizontal airstream at 15 m/s in a duct of a known diameter,how do I calculate
a) whether the particle will be carried in the airstream
b) if the particle is not carried on the...
Just to clarify zdas04,
This is a system under suction - like a dust extraction system.
I am looking at 1 fan in the common part of the system and then splitting the upstream flow accross 5'units' in parellel. The plan is to crerate equal pd and hence flow through each common unit.
The way Big...
Thanks Big Inch,
It was the principal I needed to clarify.
That means its my 20 mbarg at 5000 mbar, which is my greatest drop at the split, plus my pressure drop in the pipework at 25000 m3/hr.
Thanks again
I currently have an system that moves air and dust that is rated at 5000 m3/hr and the pressure drop through the sysem is measured at 20 m/barg.
I need to extend the system so that 5 of the 'units' above all operate in parrallel, all tying together just before a new fan that I need to specify...
I am looking at installing a new dust conveying and filtration system as part of a plant expansion.
The unit we currently have uses positve pressure filtration to remove the dust fines (cyclone to remove most of the particles, then a fan blowing any entrained dust into cloth filter bags).
My...
I have a system which conveys powder in an air stream. The air is conveyed by a fan in the middle of the system
The system goes through a number of unit stages and pipework.
I need to develop a number of system curve and understand the pressure profiles and velocity through the system on...
can anyone point me in the direction of any 'Best Available Techniques (BAT)' for the UK
I'm looking at designing a small (~40 m³) storage tank to recieve road tanker deliveries of 25% Aqeous Ammonia in the UK
Currently the design is for an atmospheric tank with an assoicated scrubber - where...
I currently have a relief vent header (potentially containing a flammable gas stream) that is routed to a scrubbing system and subsequent downstream processing.
Under certain circumstances (ie loss of scrubber water flow) there is a requirment to 'bypass' the scrubber and downstream processing...
Is there an accepted/recommended method for sizing an overflow for an atmospheric tank where an independent vent line is also incorporated
The tank I am looking at contains hot water and has an independent vent line coming off the top. It also has an overflow set ~ 0.5 m from tan line coming...
