It can be said that corrosion affecting materials is a harmful effect that appears in the different sectors of the industry. Therefore, it is convenient to know this phenomenon in order to avoid it as much as possible. Firstly, we should use a classic definition about corrosion in which it is established as the degradation […]

Conical transitions are really usual in several industrial sectors so that people minimally related to design or manufacturing of pressure vessels are used to deal with them. The shape or these conical sections is mainly imposed by the process in which vessel is immersed. In order to satisfy properly the process needs, the conical part […]

It is well-known the existing problem derived from generation of electricity, its related environmental impact and sustainability of different technologies. The demand for electric power is continuously increasing due to several demographic subjects such as, for instance, the increase of world population, the rising industrialization or the incorporation into the consumer market by developing countries. […]

It is well-known that for equipment and components design that will be operated in industrial plants, all involved people must take into account all phenomena that could cause failures. The main reason for that is people safety and integrity that work at the plant and all people that could be affected by a hypothetical failure. […]

FEED (Front End Engineering Design) Front End Engineering Design (FEED), also referred to as Front-end loading (FEL), feasibility analysis or conceptual planning, is the process for conceptual development of projects in processing industries such as upstream, petrochemical, refining and pharmaceutical. This involves developing sufficient strategic information with which owners can address risk and make decisions […]

Thin-walled pressure vessels are widely used in industry for storage and transportation of liquids and gases when configured as tanks. For most applications, pressure vessels are either spherical or cylindrical. Depending on the application, pressure vessels will adopt one shape or the other. Most pressure vessels are fabricated from curved metal sheets that are joined […]
