I totaly agree for the engineer monitoring level, but we intend to implement indicators on PI for managers, with alarms levels..., to make them see the $losses

with pressure information, it would be easier, but I only have local pressure indicators, for temperature I have more information since it s implemented on DCS

I need to have furnace efficiency to do an economic calculation of losses due to bad settings I know that you can calculate the efficiency based on o2 in glue gas and flue gas temperature... it 's a fuel oil and fuel gas furnace

I need to implement a monitoring of HX fouling and I need help to define parameters to control: LMTD? thanx in advance

we are renewing an incineretor gas line (API 5L, Sch80), we are considering heat treatment of weld joints what do u think?

TD2K I did some analysis on deposits sample: Iron: 24.4% Manganese: 0.14% lead: 0.15% zn: .04% antimony: 0.07% Cu: 0.02% loss at 550°c: 22%

We have troubles with our furnaces fuel gas system, frequent clogging problems in burners and their feeding piping branches..so we are considering a flushing of the pipes we used to do it with steam (3-4 bar), but got no results. is there any means to use a more efficient solution to flush these...

when troublshooting a pump stop, I heard somebody saying that the increase of power consumption was due to cavitation. Is it reasonable to think so??

If I have to install stainers on fuel gas pipes, can you recommend a specific type of strainers thanx

thank u 4 replying TD2K actually I dont know what ' s clogging in gas tips, maybe with further investigation I will know cant strainer catch traces of liquids, it must be some type of strainer that does the job, no?? I think that part of the problem is deposit in the feed branches pipes, so am...

am a maintenance engineer in refining industry. we have difficulties with fuel gas tips (furnaces) getting glogged Is there any procedure to clean the gas pipe (since the dirt is getting from pipe deposits)? would strainers on lines be helpful?? thank you

Am new maintanance engineer in refining industry being in charge of refubishing of fuel gas burners of the refinery, I need help to find procedures to uncork the gas lines, It may new installation... is it necessary to have gas strainers on feed pipes.. any information would be helpful thanx
