thanks all of you... the inputs were useful.. krecian

can anyone help me in finding a manufacturer/package vendor who can design and supply diesel drying system using rock salts? diesel is having residual moisture, approx 500 ppm, (coming out from a co-alescer) to be dried to say 100 ppm. krecian

Well, thanks, vvec and controlnovice. That's some more value-addition. krecian

Thanks very much, controlnovice and Rheinhardt for your inputs. Yes, I am going to work on a new FF system for a gas processing plant. My questions were with the intent of knowing operational/maint related issues that can be taken care during the initial design/engg stage. KRECian

Has anybody come across the following in real life FF system, 1. what type of hardware failures are normally observed? 2. what is the avergae number of devices that are practically installed per segment? 3. what is the average power drawn per device? 4. are there any specific failures related...

As far as I know there is no such thing as converter that I can put inside a "panel" and convert analog signals to fieldbus. If you have a control system already existing with fieldbus and your field devices are analogue without fieldbus capability, then there should be HART protocol co-existing...

Thanks one and all. For quick responses. krecian

Can somebody simplify the difference between local and remote I/O s to a layman?

you cant afford invisible leaks of gases at such low temperatures which expand nearly 600 times. Go for bellow-sealed valves. KRECian

What do you want to do with this feed? What components you want to separate. First decide on the objectives. Here are some steps: 1. Dry the gas - moisture removal using silica gel or mol seives 2. Remove arsenic or mercury, if present 3. Remove acid gases - H2S etc - (Amine treating?) 4. Remove...

Depending on local safety regulations, sometimes N2 is added deliberately to dilute the calorific value of the gas. This is for the gas transported through pipes. - To limit the calorific value within soecified range. Find out your local norms and see if it so. KRECian

MayMay, You say it is a batch fermentation. Have a level switch at the desired level (a level transmitter would be better) to actuate the feed control valve. For maintaing constant pressure, on the gas side, have a control valve actuated by a pressure transmitter mounted on the vessel vapor...

Wizard74, Check-up whether "bridge" formation is taking place at the conical bottom preventing the plastics flow to the bottom and to the RV itself. KRECian

25362, Thanks. My calcs are giving me 0.47 kW/m2.K. Specs are all ready for system fabrication and then erection. Let us see how close we are. KRECian

Thanks 25362, My calculations give me 1.2 W/m2.K. Close to the values given by you. But, boil-out is not a problem for me. Based on rough-cut design and actual fabrication and use, have told us that calculations are more than adequate. Condensation design often seems to be inadequate. I tried...
