| oil and chemical plant layout and spacing: Guidelines for Safe Handling of Powders and Bulk Solids CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety), 2010-08-13 Powders and bulk solids, handled widely in the chemical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, smelting, and other industries present unique fire, explosion, and toxicity hazards. Indeed, substances which are practically inert in consolidated form may become quite hazardous when converted to powders and granules. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board is currently investigating dust explosions that occured in 2003 at WestPharma, CTA Acoustics, and Hayes-Lemmerz, and is likely to recommend that companies that handle powders or whose operations produce dust pay more attention to understanding the hazards that may exist at their facility. This new CCPS guidelines book will discuss the types of hazards that can occur in a wide range of process equipment and with a wide range of substances, and will present measures to address these hazards. |

| oil and chemical plant layout and spacing: Process Plant Design Robin Smith, 2023-11-20 Process Plant Design An introductory practical guide to process plant design for students of chemical engineering and practicing chemical engineers. Process Plant Design provides an introductory practical guide to the subject for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, and practicing chemical engineers. Process Plant Design starts by presenting general background from the early stages of chemical process projects and moves on to deal with the infrastructure required to support the operation of process plants. The reliability, maintainability and availability issues addressed in the text are important for process safety, and the avoidance of high maintenance costs, adverse environmental impact, and unnecessary process breakdowns that might prevent production targets being achieved. A practical approach is presented for the systematic synthesis of process control schemes, which has traditionally received little attention, especially when considering overall process control systems. The development of preliminary piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) is addressed, which are key documents in process engineering. A guide is presented for the choice of materials of construction, which affects resistance to corrosion, mechanical design and the capital cost of equipment. Whilst the final mechanical design of vessels and equipment is normally carried out by specialist mechanical engineers, it is still necessary for process designers to have an understanding of mechanical design for a variety of reasons. Finally, Process Plant Design considers layout, which has important implications for safety, environmental impact, and capital and operating costs. To aid reader comprehension, Process Plant Design features worked examples throughout the text. Process Plant Design is a valuable resource on the subject for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, as well as practicing chemical engineers working in process design. The text is also useful for industrial disciplines related to chemical engineering working on the design of chemical processes. |

| oil and chemical plant layout and spacing: Calibration of Deterministic Parameters: Reassessment of Offshore Platforms in the Arabian Gulf Hassan Zaghloul, 2011-04-18 The Arabian Gulf oil and gas production reserves have made it one of the world's strategic producers since the early 1960s, with many of the existing platforms stretched beyond their original design life. Advances in drilling technology and reservoir assessments have extended the requirement for the service life of those existing platforms even further. Extension of the life span of an existing platform requires satisfactory reassessment of its various structural components, including piled foundations. The American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 2A (API RP2A) is commonly used in the Arabian Gulf for reassessment of existing platforms. The API guidelines have been developed for conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, the waters off Alaska and the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards of the USA. However, the Arabian Gulf conditions are fundamentally different to those encountered in US waters. Hence, there is a need to develop guidelines for reassessment of existing offshore structures to account for the specific conditions of the Arabian Gulf. This thesis performs statistical analyses on databases collected during this research from existing platforms to calibrate relevant load and resistance factors for the required guidelines. The developed guidelines are based on established approaches used in developing international codes and standards such as API RP2A-LRFD. The outcome of this research revolves around the following three main issues: 1. Calibration of resistance factors for axial capacity of piles driven in the carbonate soils 2. Development of open area live loads (OALL) on offshore platforms 3. Effect of extreme storm conditions on the reliability of existing platforms in the Arabian Gulf The outcomes of this research are expected to have a profound influence onreassessment of existing platforms in the Arabian Gulf. |

| oil and chemical plant layout and spacing: Organización, gestión y ejecución de proyectos industriales Storch de Gracia, José María, Herrero Sánchez, Borja, 2018-09-01 El lector tiene en sus manos un libro circunscrito a la organización y gestiónde proyectos industriales. El texto se enfoca a la industria Química, pero laforma en que los autores exponen, analizan y desarrollan los conceptos de lagestión de proyectos, lo hace también válido para otros tipos de industria, como la energética. Los objetivos de los proyectos son evaluar, proponer, contratar, diseñar, construir y arrancar una o varias plantas industriales capaces de transformar unos bienes y servicios en otros de valor mayor. Ello no de cualquier manera, sino optimizando, a lo largo de la ejecución, la tensión entre precio, plazo y calidad. La obra se divide en dos partes. La primera aborda conceptos generales de la gestión de proyectos industriales, como son, por ejemplo: las estimaciones económicas, la planificación, el control de actividades, etc. La segunda parte desarrolla la secuencia normal en la ejecución de los proyectos partiendo de la propuesta técnica y económica, pasando por el diseño yla gestión de acopios hasta llegar a la construcción y la puesta en marcha deuna planta industrial. |
