Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible (or recommended) to use one or a common condensate pot for steam blowby protection for multiple steam exchangers. The steam exchangers are for different services but will be located in the same area of the plant.
Is it better to have a dedicated...
pmover you've given me a very logical reason for the arrangement. much appreciated. I'm sure that's why a globe valve was installed for re-pressurization after a shutdown event, or for start-up.
thanks again to everyone for your help!
Hi DRWeig,
Thanks for the response.
Sorry I can't upload the P&ID, but just picture a normally fully open ESD valve on a line with a bypass around it for maintenance. The bypass line has a ball valve and globe valve in series. that's it. no other blinds or hardware.
The ESD is normally full...
Hello,
I'm looking at a P&ID with an inlet ESD Valve with a bypass around it that contains a ball valve followed by a globe valve.
This may be a very basic question but, can someone please tell me what the basis is for having a ball valve in series with a globe valve?
thank you.
Thanks for the feedback.
I looked in GPSA 12th edition - chapter 7 and there is only a couple of lines on slug catchers. No formulas or methodology presented. Perhaps you all are referring to an older version?
Operating pressure is around 750 psi.
"BigInch" the idea for the inlet control...
Does anyone have a quick method/rule of thumb that can be used as the sizing basis for a slug catcher/separator located on the inlet to a compressor on a natural gas line.
The intent of the vessel is to just avoid any liquid carry-over into the compressor. So far, the idea is to place a...
