Heat Exchanger Design and Operation is one of the most complex and critical disciplines in process and mechanical engineering. These units are the heart of thermal management in any plant, from petrochemicals to power generation. Their function is straightforward (transferring heat between two fluids), but their design requires a bimodal mastery: thermal calculation for energy […]

In the design of piping systems for industrial plants, supports and guides are key elements to ensure mechanical integrity, operability, and the service life of the system. Based on our experience in piping engineering, inadequate support design can lead to excessive stresses, flange leaks, overloads on connected equipment, or recurring vibration and maintenance issues. Support […]

The maintenance and design of storage tanks is not a secondary task; it is a fundamental engineering discipline in industrial plants that requires in-depth knowledge of materials mechanics, corrosion, and the rigorous application of international codes. Atmospheric and low-pressure tanks represent the most vulnerable link in the storage chain for hydrocarbons and chemical products. Their […]

In the field of unfired pressure vessel design and fabrication, engineers frequently work under different regulatory frameworks. Among the most widely used international standards are EN 13445 vs ASME Section VIII Division 1, both of which establish requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels. Despite sharing the same fundamental objective—ensuring safety […]

Industrial Piping Engineering is a fundamental discipline that ensures the safe and efficient transport of fluids across process plants, refineries, power stations, and other critical facilities. Beyond the physical connection of components, this field requires a deep understanding of thermodynamics, materials mechanics, regulatory frameworks, and—crucially—piping stress analysis. A poorly designed piping system can lead to […]

In the field of mechanical design for pressure vessels, selecting the appropriate applicable code is a critical factor to ensure structural safety, operational efficiency, and resource optimization. Within the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section VIII establishes the criteria for the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of industrial pressure vessels. This section is divided […]
