  • Plant Piping

ASME B31.1 Power Piping, ASME B31.3 Process Piping, Flange Ratings

  • Pressure Drop Calculations

Considerations and Correlations to determine pipe pressure drop

  • Pressure Surges

Overview of Pipeline Surge Analysis/ Transient Analysis

2) Gas/Vapor Phase

  • Introduction to Fluid Flow

First Principles, Basic Flow Equation, Pipeline Gas Flow Equations (Weymouth, Panhandle A/B, AGA), Pipeline Elevation Changes

  • Pipeline Cooling Under Flow conditions

Effect of temperature drop due to fluid flow in pipeline

  • Pipe Sizing

Gas phase line hydraulics/considerations

3) Multiphase Flow

  • Introduction to Fluid Flow

Multi-phase flow in Horizontal pipes, in Vertical Pipes

  • Multi-phase Pressure Drop Calculations

Considerations and Correlations to determine pipe pressure drop

  • Liquid Hold-up & Slug formation in pipelines

Overview, pipeline slug volume estimation

4) Use of Software applications for Line Hydraulics

  • Interactive session on usage of software resources like ASPEN HYSYS, PIPENET etc. for flow line hydraulics. Both liquid/gas & multi-phase hydraulics will be studied using software.

5) Line Hydraulics – Best Practices

  • Overview of design practices employed while executing line hydraulics. References from standards such as GPSA, JGC, Shell DEP etc. will be shared with the audience

6) Resources

  • Would try to provide some literature/useful resources for the audience (Not confirmed yet, will see).

 

PART II (Approx. 2.5 hours)

SIZING OF PSV & CONTROL VALVES             

1) PSV Sizing

  • Introduction

Understanding of over-pressure and relief conditions, Depressuring, Overview of Pressure Relief Devices; their types and utility

  • PSV Sizing

Relief scenarios for PSVs; Fire, Blocked Discharge, Thermal Relief etc., Orifice Sizing for Critical & Sub-Critical flows (gas/vapor, liquids, two-phase) based on API 520 (Part I) guidelines

  • PSV Orifice Designations

PSV Orifice designations as per API and ASME; their difference and final selection criteria, PSV Datasheet preparation

  • Use of Software applications for PSV Sizing

Interactive session on usage of software resources like ASPEN HYSYS or commercial PSV Sizing tools for relief valve selection. Both liquid/gas & multi-phase hydraulics will be studied using software.

  • Resources

Would try to provide some useful excel calculation sheets for the audience (Not confirmed yet, will see).

2) Control Valve Sizing                  (Short session)
