📣 FCCU Presentation at RefComm Galveston 📣 New and Old Equations Tie Together 75 Years of FCC Standpipe Experience Update  Presented by Phillip Niccum, Independent Consultant  👉 Register: www.refcomm.com One of the prime challenges to the operation of a fluid catalytic cracking unit is keeping the catalyst circulating.  Compared to the other challenges facing FCC operations, when it comes to mystery, correction of erratic catalyst standpipe operation tops the list. In this paper, fundamental equations and practical lessons learned reveal much of the mystery surrounding fluidized particle flow through standpipes. The topics covered include: • a framing of the standpipe problem • knowing how to recognize standpipe performance issues • knowing the difference between actual and apparent fluidized density • awareness of where aeration goes • the importance of the standpipe inlet design • theoretical aeration requirements • the relative effectiveness of different aeration mediums • a review of available tools • commercial examples that demonstrate the importance of each of these topics.  Learn more and register here: www.refcomm.com #refcomm #oil #oilandgas #energy #safety #training

ZTR - Zaporozhtransformator Reliable partner, reliable equipment. Shunt reactors Shunt reactors manufactured by PrJSC "ZTR" are designed for reactive power compensation in electrical networks with a voltage of 35 - 750 kV. Reactors make it possible to increase the capacity of the network, reduce the loss of electricity during its transformation, and improve the quality of electricity supplied to the consumer. The basic model of shunt reactors was developed taking into account the experience of operating reactors in electric networks for 30 years. As the basic design of the shunt reactor, a design with a rod magnetic system with non-magnetic gaps in the rod was chosen as the most reliable, economical and the one that most satisfies the needs of customers. https://ztr.ua info@ztr-arg.com.ar

We are delighted to award an Approval in Principle (AiP) to LATTICE International AS for its innovative design and development of Lattice Pressure Vessel (LPV) tanks and liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel gas supply systems for onboard ship installations. This innovation transforms liquid gas storage on vessels by reducing the space required while maintaining the same cargo volume. The LPV sets a new standard in pressure-loading by utilizing an innovative internal lattice structure that evenly distributes pressure across tension panels, beams and the outer shell. This design minimizes strain on the tank, allowing it to handle pressures exceeding 30 barg, which makes it suitable for various storage applications, including cryogenic and medium-pressure environments. Alexander Gregg-Smith, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific (APA) of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, says: “As the maritime industry accelerates its transition towards a greener future, the development of innovative liquid hydrogen (LH2) propulsion systems has become a critical priority. A significant milestone in this journey has been the Approval in Principle granted by Bureau Veritas for a new LH2 fuel tank and gas supply system.” Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/e_3-yy3y #ShapingABetterMaritimeWorld #LiquidHydrogen

Today's presentation about the OTEC, learned and presented the technical challenges in the face of the OTEC development and the financial problems, such as the installation cost and the large pipes with special specifications and dimensions, which all can be studied and in the near future can be defeated aside with the already running studies on the heat exchangers done in the power plant installed in Hawaii.

Did you know: Hydrotreater reactors are most vulnerable during startup and shutdown phases? These phases rely on Minimum Pressurization Temperature (MPT) curves to prevent excessive stress and brittle fractures. However, outdated methodology for setting MPT curves leads to lengthy startup and shutdown times. To optimize these critical operations, Akselos Structural Performance Management (SPM) software helps operators safely reduce reactor shutdown and startup times using industry-standard compliant simulations.

Great to see Expro's #DFOS service featured in the SPE's 75th Year Anniversary Journal of Petroleum Technology. If you head to the link below, and you're an #SPE Member, you can get a free download of the paper until the 30th April 2024. Utilising our #slickline enabled #fibreoptic cable for deployment, in the absence of a conventional production log, distributed fiber-optic sensing, in conjunction with shut-in temperature measurements, provided a viable method to derive inflow zonal distribution. https://lnkd.in/eN5HM2zY

“Two types of code for elaborating and assessing methods for preventing core melt accidents as well as for training reactor operators were developed: – integral codes (or software systems) designed to simulate the entire core melt accident, from the initiating event up to and including any radioactive release outside the containment; – detailed or mechanistic codes, used to simulate in greater detail the phenomena involved in a particular accident phase, for example core damage, fission product release or hydrogen combustion inside the containment. There are five integral codes in the world, namely MAAP, MELCOR, ASTEC, SAMPSON and SOCRAT (this excludes certain special codes used to simulate core melt accidents in Canadian-designed CANDU heavy-water reactors, such as ISAAC, a code developed by KAERI in South Korea).” This new publication on what are referred to as “severe” core melt accidents, which may occur in pressurised light-water #reactors, is the result of one of the most comprehensive surveys ever conducted on this subject. The knowledge it contains is presented with a strong educational focus.” The publication: https://lnkd.in/egqNakv4 #nuclearsafety #nuclearindustry #simulation
