Integrating Analyzers with Automation Systems: Oil and Gas by David Schihabel
The document discusses how gas analyzers are integrated with automation systems for real-time control of oil and gas operations. It describes a system that currently produces 40,000 bbls of oil, 20,000 bbls of natural gas liquids, and 230 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas. The quality of gas streams is maintained through real-time analysis of the permeate gas stream, as off-spec gas could shut down the entire production system. It also details a gas treating unit that removes CO2 from residue gas streams using analyzer results to control inlet and outlet blending valves for the single operating column.

Transmission reinforcement is needed to ensure security of energy supply as Scotland transitions to a low carbon system with more renewable generation. Additional grid capacity of 10.96 GW is planned through reinforcement projects, but barriers include coordinating offshore/onshore planning and delays. Statistics show decision times for project consents can exceed 2 years. Lessons from the Beauly-Denny project demonstrate the importance of early and ongoing consultation. Innovation in route selection through strategic analysis and public workshops could help address opposition and de-risk future projects.

This document summarizes Task 4.5, which aims to develop a system for estimating log quality by analyzing cutting resistance during harvesting. CNR and Kesla will work to select sensors for the processor head to measure cutting forces, develop methods to correlate these measurements with wood properties, and create a "Cutting Process quality index". The task will establish a protocol for collecting cutting data from chainsaws and delimbers by July 2015 and deliver a prototype quality index method by November 2015. The index is intended to support real-time grading of logs based on estimated density and resistance from cutting force analyses.
Shanghai energy-audit
An energy audit involves four stages: data collection, inspection of energy usage, analysis to benchmark usage, and recommendations. The inspection stage examines the building envelope, processes, and engineering systems like electricity, gas, steam and compressed air. Analysis benchmarks energy usage, and recommendations identify opportunities to lower consumption and energy waste. An audit of a Shanghai factory found issues like a gym operating when empty, steam traps leaking, and problems with the chiller system.

Piping Stress Analysis of a Hypothetical Oil Refinery Plant Having Separate S...
In this study, a hypothetical simulation model is analyzed under varying uncertainty conditions; the key features of overlapping and functional interaction affect the performance measures of development time and effort. Findings indicate that, first and foremost, whether or not overlapping occurs, increasing functional interaction eventually leads to a sound system. A selective overview of group & individual process behaviors of a combined suction & discharge cycles of a hypothetical oil refinery plant is suggested. The pipe material is Carbon fiber reinforced plastic which is chosen because of its excellent length to weight ratio & it serves as an integral part the system which involves tank piping. This model uses psychologically legitimate & theoretically grounded models for time & decision rules. The results of preliminary simulation experiments suggest that the model is sensitive to structural & pay- off density & precisely replicates ideal free distributions. Pipe network models allow the modeling of storage tanks in which the working fluid (here, Naphtha) surface is inconsistent with inflow & outflow. Stress analysis of CFRP material shows that the maximum stresses are within allowable material strength. From the trials, it can be accomplished that, with proper design parameters, CFRP can take the design load similar to that of steel & other alloys

manual stress analysis
This document is a project report on piping stress analysis submitted by three students - Adwait A. Joshi, Robin T. Cherian, and Girish R. Rao - to the University of Mumbai in partial fulfillment of their Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree requirements. It was completed under the guidance of their internal project guide Prof. Ms. R. R. Easow at Sardar Patel College of Engineering, with external guidance from Prof. A. S. Moharir of IIT Bombay's Piping Engineering Cell. The report introduces piping stress analysis, outlines the objectives and scope of analyzing stresses in piping systems, and describes how loads are classified and their effects on piping stresses
Understanding Stress Analysis Topics
The document discusses analyzing stress in a buried branch connection using pipe stress analysis software Caesar II. The initial results using the basic soil model showed unrealistic high stresses at a tee. Further review found the basic soil model had much weaker axial than lateral soil springs. Switching to the more realistic American Lifelines Alliance soil model resulted in stress levels within acceptable limits by providing more balanced soil resistance. The lessons learned were to not rely solely on software and have a deep understanding of its limitations and assumptions.

- 4. My Safety Moment Dropped Objects During steam drum inspections at Hines a coworker bent over and a paint pen fell off the top story and down to the ground. The pen exploded and we all took a moment to revisit the danger of dropped objects and the importance of tethers.
- 5. Responsibilities this Rotation ■ Analyzed – AutoPIPE Stress Analysis of Bartow HRH Drain Modification ■ Attended – 2016 FHO TechX Conference – Tour of the University of Florida Co-generation Plant ■ Created – Material Spec. Database for Osprey’s HP and HRH Piping Systems – ASME B31.1 Branch Connection Reinforcement Area Calculator ■ Inspected – Osprey Plant baseline inspections with Structural Integrity – Boilers at Crystal River Unit 2, Unit 5, and Anclote Unit 2 – HRSGs at Hines PB4A and PB4B
- 6. HRSG Inspections – Hines PB4A
- 7. Boiler Inspections – Crystal River Unit 2
- 8. Boiler Inspections – Anclote Unit 2
- 9. Bartow AutoPIPE Analysis - Intro
- 10. Bartow AutoPIPE Analysis – Benefits ■ Training – Learned the fundamentals of AutoPIPE ■ Testing – Analyzed code stresses and thermal displacement ■ Collaborated – Compared to Steve Grace’s Caepipe Analysis
- 11. ASME Branch Reinforcement Calculator - Intro
- 12. ASME Branch Reinforcement Calculator - Benefits ■ Learned valuable information – ASME Codes ■ Man hours saved – Piping engineers can use this tool instead of reading the code book ■ Safety – Ensure that existing designs or repairs meet code ■ Teamwork – Received feedback from Boilers and Fuel Prep Team and revised accordingly
