    waste water storage

    Hi, do you have any guidelines, rules, practices, standards about this topic: - storage in steel tank of waste water, with hydrocarbons into solubility range, discharged by a chemical plant: distances from plants, if or when needed a basin and waterproof floorring, etc. tx

    storage dirty water or waste water, with hydrocarbons into solubility range

    Someone can help to find guidelines, rules, practices, standards about this topic: storage of dirty water or waste water, with hydrocarbons into solubility range, of a chemical plant: distances from plants, if or when needed a basin and waterproof florring, etc. tx

    flow in an horizontal circular open channel

    In attached a simplified scheme, my real system is more complicated because of more feed and more diameter sections. My goal is estimate the max discharge flow to the river. bimr many literature articles and tools say that mannings slope is the bottom of pipe but I think you are right, can you...

    flow in an horizontal circular open channel

    LittleInch thanks for your reply, you have right, politeness is a must, will strive to improve. I deleted my previeus post, prefered a shorter message. Very interesting what you image heppen: "flow ... keeps changing cross section area". It's like a wave-flow regime, even if the feeded...

    flow in an horizontal circular open channel

    hi, in an horizontal circular channel there is a flow of liquid, it's not full of liquid. Here is the question: 1 - is there a reduction of level along the pipe? 2 - if yes, how can be estimated?

    refractory failure

    Hi, i don't know if this is the better forum for this question: there is a method to define how much air needs to cool an hotspot (refractory failure? tx

    thread330-302874 hi ref. "The practise here is we apply cooling steam hose at the hot spots/stingers & it is kept until next outage of the equipment where the necessary actions are taken to repair the refractory." where can i find the design criteria to define flow rate of external cooling...

    behavior of a PSV for gas when the system protected needs a continuous very low discharge flowrate

    don 1980, in your opinion or technically if you know, what is the reason because they "open to a position of 40-50% lift height" and not proportionally to the flow rate?

    behavior of a PSV for gas when the system protected needs a continuous very low discharge flowrate

    Thank for your replies! My intent is more to understand the behavior of the device in that situation rather than to identify the appropriate guidelines for the design. When the gas-flow that causes the slow overpressure is constant and very low, does the gas-PRV (spring operated)open just as...

    behavior of a PSV for gas when the system protected needs a continuous very low discharge flowrate

    Hi, an auto regulation device of upstream pressure loses its seal while the downstream pipeline is blocked in; so the pressure rises to the set value and the PSV start opening. The leakage flow is a very low fraction of nominal flowrate od PSV, for example 1% or minus. What scenarious you think...

    EHN RUNAWAY AND SAFETY RELIEF

    Hi, any experiances with 2-ETHYLHEXIL NITRATE and its thermal runaway? How calculate safety device for?

    flow throught inertization

    Hi, this is the question: i have a "flow through inertization" of an external envelope with the scope of reducing internal corrosion due to air, so i have to maintain a low content of humid air inside the metal envelope. Do you know a criteria for flowrate? I think it could be very low, > 0.2...
