Pressure Safety Valve Sizing - API 520/521/526Vijay Sarathy
No chemical process facility is immune to the risk of overpressure to avoid dictating the necessity for overpressure protection. For every situation that demands safe containment of process gas, it becomes an obligation for engineers to equally provide pressure relieving and flaring provisions wherever necessary. The levels of protection are hierarchical, starting with designing an inherently safe process to avoid overpressure followed by providing alarms for operators to intervene and Emergency Shutdown provisions through ESD and SIL rated instrumentation. Beyond these design and instrument based protection measures, the philosophy of containment and abatement steps such as pressure relieving devices, flares, physical dikes and Emergency Response Services is employed

CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR SETTLE OUT CONDITIONS TUTORIALVijay Sarathy
Centrifugal Compressors are a preferred choice in gas transportation industry, mainly due to their ability to cater to varying loads. In the event of a compressor shutdown as a planned event, i.e., normal shutdown (NSD), the anti-surge valve is opened to recycle gas from the discharge back to the suction (thereby moving the operating point away from the surge line) and the compressor is tripped via the driver (electric motor or Gas turbine / Steam Turbine). In the case of an unplanned event, i.e., emergency shutdown such as power failure, the compressor trips first followed by the anti-surge valve opening. In doing so, the gas content in the suction side & discharge side mix.
Therefore, settle out conditions is explained as the equilibrium pressure and temperature reached in the compressor piping and equipment volume following a compressor shutdown

“Antisurge Protection in action” for Compressors By Prem Baboo.pdfPremBaboo4
In any centrifugal compressor the Antisurge protection in action interlock is given for compressor safety. This logic is very typical and related to much input. Each input is very important for compressor life and internals. This paper intended how to work this logic. This paper explains surge protection in action phenomena and explains why the anti-surge protection system is a very important part of a compressor? The multi stage compressor has many stages for developing pressure and high rpm which is generated with steam turbine. Numbers of companies are available for controlling surging of compressor like CCC (Compressor Controls Corporation), USA. Woodward and Yokogawa, Turbo machinery control system etc. are provider solutions for compressor flow control device with software and hardware.
Stall can most easily be defined as a condition in which heat transfer equipment is unable to drain condensate and becomes flooded due to insufficient system pressure.
What causes stall?
Stall occurs primarily in heat transfer equipment where the steam pressure is modulated to obtain a desired output (i.e. product temperature). The pressure range of any such equipment ( coils, shell & tube, etc....) can be segmented into two (2) distinct operational modes: Operating and Stall
Operating: In the upper section of the pressure range the operating pressure (OP) of the equipment is greater than the back pressure (BP) present at the discharge of the steam trap. Therefore a positive pressure differential across the trap exists allowing for condensate to flow from the equipment to the condensate return line.
Stall: In the lower section of the pressure range the operating pressure (OP) of the equipment is less than or equal to the back pressure (BP) present at the discharge of the steam trap. Therefore a negative or no pressure differential exists, this does not allow condensate to be discharged to the return line and the condensate begins to collect and flood the equipment.
Pneumatics uses compressed air to transmit power in industrial applications. Some key points:
- Compressed air is clean, safe, and can be transported easily through piping systems. However, it requires good preparation to remove moisture and particles.
- A typical pneumatic system includes an air compressor, dryer, receiver tank, filters, regulators, and lubricators to prepare and distribute the compressed air.
- Pipelines are installed with downward slopes and outlets pointing up to prevent condensation buildup. Ring circuits allow bidirectional air flow for uniform supply.
- Common components are cylinders, motors, and valves to convert compressed air into motion, controlled by pneumatic circuits and processing elements like directional valves

False air or excess air in sealed systems like boiler flue gas paths or ACC vacuum systems can cause issues like heat loss, fan inefficiency, and increased downtime. It is important to identify sources of false air, measure levels periodically, and implement remedial actions like sealing leaks. Key steps include dedicating teams to identify leak areas, take measurements, and make repairs during outages in a timely manner, as well as implementing design and fabrication best practices, online monitoring instruments, and preventative maintenance programs.
This document discusses safety issues related to Yankee cylinders used in papermaking. It identifies several common reasons for Yankee cylinder failures, including increased steam pressure inside the cylinder, increased condensate levels, increased touch roll loading, and increased moisture in the incoming paper web. It then provides recommendations to address each of these issues, such as installing pressure switches and safety valves, regularly inspecting condensate removal pipes and seals, and monitoring systems to detect changes in process variables. Detection techniques for non-condensable gases are also outlined, as well as methods for monitoring vibrations or load fluctuations that can indicate increased condensate levels inside the Yankee cylinder.

General Notes
This document discusses the importance of properly selecting check valves for pumped systems to avoid issues like check valve slam. It notes that check valves are sometimes selected without considering their dynamic response under transient flow conditions. The key factors that affect a check valve's performance like mass, travel distance, and spring assistance are discussed. The document provides guidelines for selecting a check valve through modeling reverse flow velocities and decelerations and comparing valves based on dimensionless criteria. Different types of check valves are described and factors like installation location that can cause instability are covered. The importance of obtaining performance data from suppliers is also emphasized.
This document discusses transformer protection. It explains that protection is needed to minimize damage, prevent electric failure, reduce outages and costs. The document categorizes different types of transformer faults and classifications of protection functions. It describes differential protection, restricted earth fault protection, overflux protection and other monitoring systems like Buchholz relays, oil temperature indicators, pressure releases and air cell protectors. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting transformers from internal faults and abnormal operating conditions.
Pneumatics are useful for powering actuators that require powerful, reliable, and durable linear or limited-arc rotary motion. A typical pneumatic system includes a compressor, air tanks, pressure gauges, regulators, solenoids, and actuators connected by tubing. Pneumatics are well-suited for applications that require fast movement, two-position mechanisms, or creating substantial force to hold positions. However, pneumatics are not as well-suited for precision position control or sustained movement. Safety, including pressure release valves, is important when using pneumatic systems.
