Hi everyone We are planning to start up a gas compression plant, and want to purge the vent pipe ( 1600 ft long aprox.), K.O.D and flare stack with raw gas. The only place to monitor Oxygen concentration is a valve at connection for a manometer on the K.O.D. Could you please provide some...

Hi friends I want to standarize and improve the run test procedure and others start-up procedures for Natural Gas Reciprocating Compressors after overhaul. 1. I would like to know how many tests are needed without load and with load.( I.e 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes etc. Starts and stops...

Hi friends Hi friends, I hope everybody is fine here I have heard , that is a good practice to specify in a reciprocating compressor RFQ, a maximum operating rod load ( RL) that must be lower than the maximun rod load of the rod load specified by the manufacturer in the compressor design. API...

Hi friends! What erosional velocity criteria should I use to design a contract (6"x3") if my fluid is Natural Gas?. I know that gas velocity can´t be higher than erosional velocity, but I want to know if there is some criteria about a percent of the erosional velocity.

Thanks to all. I'm considering the use of this water as cooling water for gas engines. Thanks David

Hello Friends. The water that drips from air conditioners can be called "Deionized Water" ? Any opinions are appreciated Regards

Just make the job done..Do you want to impress others or to make the information simple, visible, accesible and understandable. ?? Excel, visio, Cad, PVElite etc....Go ahead Regards

Thank you very much my friends. Snorgy..Yes, There are check valves installed downstream each scrubber liquid drain, and all the liquids drains of the scrubbers are directed to a closed drain pipe and then to oil production facilities (external). Thank you very much. All the comments are very...

Hi Mover, The compressor is an engine-driven reciprocating compressor, Ariel JGC-6, for natural gas compression of 27 MMSCFD. (Natural Gas booster service). I would like to know if there is an standard o best practice that state that is mandatory to fill de bottom of the scrubbers in order to...

Hi friends. I hope someone could help. Is a common practice to fill gas reciprocating compresor suction and interstage srubbers with some liquid at the bottom during commissioning and before an initial start up ???

EMMANUEL, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY Every comments with people with great experience like you, dcasto & others, are welcome. Regards

Mr Dcasto Thank you very much. ! Even tough our system is under specification < 7 lbH2O / MMSCFD, We have a historical asphaltenes depositions in our process equipments, and my question to perform a scanning is to have an idea of where the building up is located and focus the maintenance in...

THANKS DCASTO & EMMANUEL YES, We could plan to perform a scanning before the shutdown. But I woold like to know what could be the best cost-effective technology for this application. Looking to the links provided by Emmanuel, I saw that there is a gamma scanning for that suits very well for...

HELLO FRIENDS WE ARE PLANNING A TURNAROUND IN ORDER TO PERFORM A MAINTENANCE CLEANING IN THE GAS DEHYDRATION FACILITIES. WE ARE EXPERIENCING A HIGHER DIFFERENCIAL PRESSURE ALONG THE ABSORBERS TOWERS . SO , I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PERFORM AN IR THERMOGRAPHY SCANNING...
