Use of nitrogen purge in flare and vent systems
This document discusses replacing the use of fuel gas with nitrogen for purging flare and vent systems offshore in Denmark. Using nitrogen would eliminate greenhouse gas emissions but require investments in nitrogen generation equipment. It estimates the potential reduction in CO2 emissions is 4000 tonnes per year with a total investment of 50 million Danish kroner. Individual flare and vent headers are analyzed to determine the cost effectiveness of nitrogen purging for each. Prioritizing projects based on the cost per tonne of CO2 reduced, some modifications could be combined to reduce costs. The timeline would depend on approval but investments could be phased in over multiple years.

Fire Cable Sizing
Cables that are exposed to fire while being expected to retain their functionality and provide power to essential equipment at another location must be appropriately selected and sized to take account of the increased electrical resistance at elevated temperature. Manufacturers offer cables and accessories that will survive a standard cellulose fire for 30, 60 or 90 minutes when correctly specified and installed.
Cables, including fire safety cables, are specified in terms that reflect their normal duty conditions; design parameters under fire conditions are rarely, if ever, specified. The objective of this paper is to provide a clear methodology for designing fire safety circuits based on the derivation and application of correction factors and standard cable parameters.
Cables that are exposed to fire while being expected to retain their functionality and provide power to essential equipment at another location must be appropriately selected and sized. This is not only a question of an appropriate insulation. Designers must take account of the increased electrical resistance at elevated temperature.
Manufacturers offer cables and accessories that will survive a standard cellulose fire for 30, 60 or 90 minutes when correctly specified and installed.
A first step to specifying a suitable fire safety cable is a good knowledge of the temperature rise characteristic in areas affected by the fire.
A second step is the correct selection and erection of the cable. This includes the correct sizing of the conductor. Cables, including fire safety cables, are specified in terms that reflect their normal duty conditions; design parameters under fire conditions are rarely, if ever, specified. The designer must take into account the consequent effects of the increased resistance on current carrying capacity, voltage drop, and short circuit capacity of the conductors. Special care should go to the current carrying capacity of the conductor if it is to supply electrically driven fire pumps drawing high starting currents. The circuit protection should also be adapted to fire conditions, as it must be designed to function with significant higher loop impedance than normal.
This paper provides a clear methodology for designing fire safety circuits based on the derivation and application of correction factors and standard cable parameters.
Having selected the appropriate cable, it must be installed properly, using suitable accessories and following the manufacturer’s restrictions.

Development of a Procedure for Making Inspection Plans for Corroding Oil and ...
This document presents a master's thesis that develops a procedure for making inspection plans for corroding oil and gas piping based on Bayesian updating. The thesis aims to provide a systematic method to incorporate inspection results and reduce uncertainty in determining how much piping needs to be inspected. The thesis first provides background on risk management, inspection management using risk-based inspection, and Bayesian updating. It then presents an application example of using Bayesian updating to determine the number of "hot spots" that need to be inspected in a corrosion group to achieve the required confidence in the piping's condition. The strengths and challenges of the Bayesian updating method are also discussed.
STORAGE: Dust explosion protection
Devastating grain dust explosions have been recorded for decades as the risk of flour dust ignition is so high. Without adequate controls and safety measures, grain flour explosions have been known to level entire milling facilities and take lives. While mill owners are making the effort to comply with DSEAR and ATEX regulations to ensure their staffs’ safety, the execution of preventive measures has not always been correct. Many milling facilities share common problems when it comes to the installation of protective equipment. In some cases, they inadvertently exclude “fail-safes” where necessary.
Safety at grain terminals
This document discusses grain dust explosions, their causes, and how to prevent them. Grain dust explosions can occur when there is a dust cloud at a particular concentration, a minor spark, and a source of oxygen. Sparks can originate from metal-to-metal contact, direct flames, batteries, grain spoilage inside silos, maintenance work, lighting, and electric panels. Regular safety checks of equipment like elevators, conveyors, tunnels, and dust filters can find and address potential spark sources to avoid explosions. Education about dust explosion risks and precautions is important for plant staff.

STORAGE: Aerating stored grain
Grain aeration is a popular grain storage tool used in Australia by farmers, offering harvest flexibility, increased marketing opportunities and better control of grain quality. As the range of chemical control options is reduced, grain aeration provides a powerful non-chemical stored grain insect management option.
Discus In-Process Inspection Planning
Another engineering area highly dependent upon a well-defined Technical Data Package (TDP) is the creation of in-process inspection plans and manufacturing process plans.
DISCUS Desktop enables you to take a TDP and quickly create a consolidated master list of requirements (i.e., the Bill of Characteristics) for the finished part. The DISCUS Planner add-on module adds rich functionality to enable you to assign characteristics to operations, create in-process characteristics for operations, and develop operation-specific process illustrations. DISCUS Planner operates as follows:
You start using DISCUS in the same fashion as used for ballooning of the final part drawing – that is, opening the drawing, dropping balloons, snapping rectangles, etc.
DISCUS Planner adds user interface elements to manage characteristics for each operation in the routing. For example, DISCUS Planner adds a panel for the part routing, operation details, work instructions, etc.
You then assign characteristics to specific operations, even changing the characteristic requirements at a specific operation. As needed, you may create in-process characteristics for an operation that don’t appear on the final drawing. You can create operation-specific illustrations of the ballooned part.
When you're done ballooning, you can export ballooned drawings and inspection characteristics specific to each operation. In addition, if you’re using DISCUS Planner for process planning, you can export the entire package – work instructions, process illustrations, and inspection characteristics – to a richly formatted process plan.
The primary output from DISCUS Planner is a structured and fully completed set of manufacturing planning documentation. This includes a summary routing – and for each operation – the work instructions, inspection sheets, and process illustrations. In addition to these primary features, DISCUS Planner automatically generates an operations analysis for the user to indicate characteristics where-used and “delta” values by operation. This helps to reduce errors by ensuring that all characteristics are addressed during the specific manufacturing steps. The use of DISCUS Planner has reduced the time involved in creating manufacturing planning documentation by upwards of 50%.

Hazardous location protection methods e book by pepperl+ fuchs
Hazardous Location Protection Methods Explained.
By definition, a hazardous (classified) location is an area in an industrial complex where the atmosphere contains flammable concentrations of gases or vapors by leakage, or ignitable concentrations of dust or fibers by suspension or dispersion.
The treatment of dangerous substances, where the risk of explosion or fire exists that can be caused by an electrical spark, arc, or hot temperatures, requires specifically defined instrumentation located in a hazardous location. It also requires that interfacing signals coming from a hazardous location be unable to create the necessary conditions to ignite and propagate an explosion.

They are sized using pump stroke volume, type, pressure, and allowable fluctuation level. Major manufacturers of these products include Pulsco, IAC, Vanec, and Flowguard USA.
Improving Gas Turbine – HRSG output using Inlet Air Chilling and Converted Ev...
This document discusses modifications made to improve the output of a gas turbine-heat recovery steam generator (GT-HRSG) system. The modifications included installing an inlet air chilling system and converting the evaporator section of the HRSG.
The inlet air chilling system cooled the intake air for the gas turbine, allowing it to operate at higher loads while keeping exhaust temperatures low. This provided more flexibility before temperature controls kicked in. Measurements showed the chilled air increased gas turbine mass flow and output.
Supplementary firing in the HRSG was heating the superheater section excessively. To address this, the evaporator section was converted to move the superheater further downstream. This protected the superheater from
