“We didn’t have a system to handle all the documentation. We didn’t have any transparency on the information that we received. We only had a huge stack of papers that were dropped on my desk to be reviewed.” Does this sound similar to your company's welding operation? The largest petrochemical company in South America was overwhelmed with manually managing the hundreds of thousands of welds in its operation. That's when they turned to WeldCloud Notes for a streamlined documentation process, resulting in massive improvements to productivity and accuracy. 📖 Read the full story: https://ow.ly/PQWW50Syjut #weldcloudnotes #weldingdocumentation #wps

Material of Construction (MOC) selection for lab reactors (Part 1) Selecting the proper material of construction (MOC) is a crucial decision for equipment selection. A mistake here can have catastrophic implications not just in terms of money spent but also in terms of the safety implications for a project. In this blog post we thought it was a good idea to outline some common tips and sugesstions to avoid pitfalls during the MOC selection process. Of course, MOC selection is unique to every project, and we strongly encourage you to contact your vendor, or our excellent team of application experts at Amar before your next project! Send an email to sales@amarequip.com 1. Stainless Steel (either the 314 or 316 grades) if often the default choice of MOC for most pilot plant projects. It is fairly resistant to a large range of common chemicals but it is always good to consult a MOC selection chart before you order. This is true for most projects in specialty chemicals, foods and API / Pharma industry. However, petrochemicals and refining industries still use Carbon steel for many projects at scale and hence driving the decision about what MOC to use for pilot plants for such applications.

CMC Colombia is just around the corner! Roman Megela Gazdova, CRL will host one of the SPARK sessions, where he will talk about the effects of casing distortion on rotating machinery. This is a great opportunity to learn how to detect and avoid this common issue. #rotatingmachinery #reliabilityengineering #maintenancemanagement

🎯How to reduce production time with improved productive capacity and better quality. ✅After experimenting with various techniques, I finally found that production optimization can make manufacturing operation efficient on multiple levels. Whenever there is a bottle neck in operation, I go deeper level to find the root cause to eliminate. For example, in a drilling operation, I utilised an HSS drill bit requiring coolant during drilling and frequent grinding for a specific grade of material. This process necessitated manual intervention for grinding and coolant replenishment, resulting in an efficiency of approximately 250 jobs per day, often accompanied by drill bit damage. Subsequently, upon transitioning to SSS drill bits, which eliminate the need for coolant during drilling and reduce the frequency of grinding, productivity surged from 250 to 300 jobs per day. We need to realise that there is always scope for improvement in production, and this optimization technique also aids in achieving gains in other departments. I am sure you might have faced a similar situation with how optimization had helped in improved production.

PT&P designed twelve constant spring support assemblies for a chemical plant in New Jersey. The assemblies will be used as replacements in a recuperator "up-leg" and "down-leg" application in conjunction with custom cross-over supports previously fabricated by PT&P. Physical sizes of these constant assemblies range from 18-1/2" x 22" x 64" to 18-1/2" x 26" x 83". Operating loads range between 8,000 lb. – 19,000 lb. and each allows for upward movement between 6" – 9". The spring coils are coated with epoxy instead of the standard neoprene coating. Standard load and travel tests were completed prior to shipment. Constant spring supports find applications in various fields and can be made from diverse materials tailored to specific end applications. These supports are integral in industries such as petrochemicals, LNG, refining, power generation, steel mills, and geothermal plants, among others. In the past, obtaining a custom-designed constant spring support posed a significant challenge in terms of both design and manufacturing, with lead times extending to a minimum of 6-8 weeks. Through a dedicated focus on manufacturing optimization and employing a design-centric engineering approach, we have successfully reduced the required manufacturing time by more than half. Now, the process of acquiring custom constant spring supports is significantly streamlined. In fact, we are capable of fulfilling emergency orders in less than 24 hours, taking into account the client's location and urgent requirements. This Thursday, you are cordially invited to attend our complimentary webinar presentation session on Engineered Spring Supports (Practical, Hands-on Approach). Learn how the theoretical applications of spring supports are put into use in the real world. We will start with a review of the working principles of both variable and constant springs. See how brand new spring looks at delivery, and review installation guidelines. Learn the key points to review through the total installation process and subsequently when the springs are in operation. See how to determine if springs need adjustments, re-calibration, refurbishment, or replacement. View in-field examples, shutdown, and isolation procedures. See the selection process required when there are significant changes to the operating condition. https://lnkd.in/gv5iMMwH Engineered Spring Supports (Practical, Hands-on Approach) Webinar https://lnkd.in/g36YY9Rq - 10 a.m. https://lnkd.in/gDKZ-iEC - 2 p.m. #webinar #chemicalplant #constants #engineering
