Introduction Ejectors are jet devices that uses a high-pressure fluid to entrain a lower pressure fluid, which will then be mixed and discharged at an intermediate pressure. The device is straightforward, require little to no maintenance and it does not have any moving parts making it more cost effective and […]

Waterhammer Analysis in Industry
Introduction A waterhammer is a pressure surge created due to sudden stop and/or start of a liquid flow in a piping or pump system. It is usually resulted from abrupt change in liquid flow rate due to the sudden start or stop of pumps, or even sudden closure of valves. […]

PiPROBLEM STATEMENT Waxy crude oil extraction often comes along with wax gelling and deposition issues in the sub sea transportation pipeline. Once the fluid temperature falls below the fluid’s cloud point ( known as Wax Appearance Temperature, WAT), wax crystals begins to form and snowball if temperature persists to fall. […]
Read morePredictive Monitoring in Continuous Processes
PROBLEM STATEMENT Continuous processes maximizes production and operate at a considerably lower cost compared to other process method. However, this process method is asset intensive and an unexpected breakdown would cause high production loss. The process is automatically controlled and monitored with the help of control systems such as DCS, […]
