Evaluation of Transmission Line Sag for Magnetically Induced Voltage on Pipelines in Shared Corridors

Product Number: 51323-19508-SG

Author: David Lewis PE

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

AC interference studies are complex and require complex analysis methods to accurately evaluate these
projects. Sag is a variable that affects each of these projects to varying degrees, but many tools are
challenged to consider the catenary curve of the phase conductors. Sharing common engineering
methodologies for approximating the sag and comparing these to more accurate catenary curves guide
engineers where simplification of the sag may result in significant analysis errors, and scenarios where
simplification may be acceptable.

Evolving Excavation Damage Modelling Predictions to a Data-Driven Approach

Product Number: 51323-19558-SG

Author: Armando Borjas Leal, Stephen F. Biagiotti Jr.,

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Excavation damage is a recognized threat to pipeline integrity when external human activity contacts the pipe body creating a change in shape (i.e., dent, ovality) or wall thickness (i.e., gouge). Industry standards provide similar, but slightly different variations on this definition:

• ASME2 B31.8S (1) Section A-8: “Third party damage is defined in this context as third-party inflicted damage with immediate failure, vandalism, and previously damage pipe.”

• API3 RP 1160 (2) Annex A.9: “This threat arises from excavation, drilling, boring, farming, or other soil moving or removal activities where the mechanical equipment being used comes in contact with a buried pipeline causing it to leak or rupture.”

• CSA4 Z662:19 (3) Annex H: “Third party: Inadvertent external interference by a person or group of people other than the operating company and its employees and contractors.”

Examination of Corrosion Sensor Data from Long-Term Field Exposures

Product Number: 51323-19446-SG

Author: James Dante, Shengyen Li, Andrew Keller

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

To reduce maintenance costs while maintaining safety, different corrosion mitigation strategies have been utilized. In addition to new structural materials and advanced protective coatings, improved maintenance planning approaches, including Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) approaches, have seen growing use over the past decade. One goal of any Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) effort is to use all available on-aircraft data as well as field and depot-based maintenance information to align resources in a timely manner to ensure aircraft safety while reducing maintenance and repair costs.

Experimental and Numerical Erosion Pattern Study in a Pulverized Coal Injection Nozzle Geometry

Product Number: 51323-19575-SG

Author: Ann Grue, Lawrence D. Berg, Soroor Karimi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

A significant portion of global energy demand is met using coal. Even with developing interest in other energy sources, use of coal to generate electricity is expected to remain steady due to overall rising global electricity needs. Most applications for coal combustion electricity generation utilize pulverized coal (PC) as the fuel.

Experimental and Numerical Studies on the Influence of Particle Sizes on Erosion of Elbows in Series in Gas-Solid and Multiphase Flow Conditions

Product Number: 51323-19098-SG

Author: Mazen M. Othayq, Faris S. Bilal, Farzin Darihaki, Ronald E. Vieira, Soroor Karimi, Siamack A. Shirazi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In the oil and gas industry, solid particle erosion is a common challenge in pipelines, flowlines, and fitting components such as elbows. Elbows have been widely used to change the flow direction in industrial flowlines. When erosion occurs due to the impact of solid particles, it leads to significant financial and environmental threats.

Experimental Investigation of Solid Particle Erosion for Long Radius Elbows in Gas-Solid Flow

Product Number: 51323-19099-SG

Author: Faris S. Bilal, Mazen M. Othayq, Asad Nadeem, Siamack A. Shirazi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Solid particle erosion is a significant challenge for the oil and gas industry, especially on pipeline fittings such as the elbow that change the flow direction. In the past few decades, most of the erosion investigations were done on standard elbows experimentally or numerically using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology. For example, Othayq et al. investigated two standard elbows in a series of 3-inch (76.2 mm) pipe diameters in gas-solid flow.

Extreme high-speed laser application of coating to prevent hydrogen embrittlement in metals

Product Number: 51323-19546-SG

Author: Yingwei Wu, Josh Barras, Jhonattan Gutjahr, Carl Hauser, Yuanbo T. Tang, Roger C. Reed, W. Mark Rainforth

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Hydrogen as a promising alternative energy source that is forecasted to potentially transform future power generation toward new-zero. However, its widespread adoption has proven challenging owing to difficulties around storage, transportation, and usage due to catastrophic failures i.e. hydrogen embrittlement (HE). This is particularly severe for high-strength structural steel that must be designed against fatal fractures; it is also relevant to parts that are not designed for hydrogen exposure due to the prevention of accidental spill or leakage.

Facilitating the Use of Leak Detection Sensors Using Web-Based Remote Monitoring

Product Number: 51323-18884-SG

Author: Jamey Hilleary

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Pipeline leak detection is emerging as a prime focus of PHMSA and other regulatory agencies in the United States as well as jurisdictions all over the world. The immense volume of buried pipelines and the fact that much of this buried infrastructure is over forty years old1 combine to present increasing risk of leaks with potentially catastrophic results. During the twenty-year timespan from 2002 through 2021, in the United States alone, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) recorded 42 hazardous liquids incidents resulting in 35 fatalities, 80 injuries, and over 147,000 barrels spilled. In many cases the environmental and human health and safety costs could have been reduced if the leaks were detected much earlier.

This case study highlights the challenges facing designers of equipment required to operate in geothermal environments. It describes the failure of a non-condensable gas extraction pump at the Nga Awa Purua Power Station (NAP) which has a capacity of 140 MW. The station is located near Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand (Figure 1) and was commissioned in 2010.

Failure Analysis of High Temperature Plate Heat Exchangers in Converter Section of Sulfuric Acid Regeneration [SAR] Unit

Product Number: 51323-19420-SG

Author: Sudharsanan Soundararajan

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

A Sulfuric Acid Alkylation [SAA] unit in a refinery converts olefins and butane to high octane alkylate using highly concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The function of this Sulfuric Acid Regeneration [SAR] unit is to regenerate spent sulfuric acid from alkylation process into clean sulfuric acid of 99.2% concentration, which is then recycled back into the SAA unit. The process of SAR can be classified in to following four steps:

• Formation of SO2 by the decomposition of Spent acid and combustion of H2S.
• Cooling and Purification of the SO2
• Conversion of SO2 to SO3
• Absorption of SO2 in H2SO4

Failure of Heat Exchanger Cooling CO2 from a Pre-Combustion Unit

Product Number: 51323-19402-SG

Author: Sivuyile Funani, Abhijit Saha, Abdulaziz Al-Meshari

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

About a month after commissioning, a decrease in pH of the cooling water in the plant was observed. This meant that CO2 has leaked into the cooling water in one of the coolers. Two months after commissioning, about 15% of tubes in one cooler downstream of the reactor were plugged after inspection results showed that they have leaked.
