Vibrating Equipment Foundation – Checklist for Design Engineering or Construction Supervision

Equipment in used in petrochemical, energy processing and industrial facilities fall under two broad categories, namely: static equipment and rotating equipment. Some examples of static equipment are horizontal & vertical vessels, and pressure vessels while rotating equipment include turbines, compressors amongst others. Equipment which fall under the rotating category create a dynamic effect called vibration… Read More Vibrating Equipment Foundation – Checklist for Design Engineering or Construction Supervision

Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Vertical Vessel Support

How Vertical Vessels Are Vertical vessels are structures which contain and usually process fluids and span more in the vertical direction. Many will be familiar with the fractionating column used in refineries, but this is only one of the many shapes of vertical vessels. During the design of connection bolts and foundation, the wind load… Read More Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Vertical Vessel Support

Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Horizontal Vessel Support

What Horizontal Vessels Are Horizontal vessels are structures which contain and usually process fluids and span more in the horizontal direction. This class of vessels can be further characterized into two broad categories; horizontal vessels and heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are different from horizontal vessels in general by the dynamic manner with which they operate.… Read More Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Horizontal Vessel Support
