The design and routing of pipelines in industrial plants is a critical task that affects the safety, efficiency, and operability of a facility. From the oil and gas industry to chemical and energy sectors, proper pipeline layout is essential to ensure system reliability and minimize operational and maintenance costs. In this article, we explore the […]

Engineering codes are active, dynamic, and constantly evolving. They are subject to changes as new information becomes available, whether from research or practical experience, and are modified accordingly. They are also reviewed for their precision and for possible inconsistencies, keeping in mind the generally complex relationship interlinking different codes and standards. As cross-referencing is the […]

API 653 is a standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that governs the inspection, repair, alteration, and reconstruction of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) used in the petroleum and chemical industries. This standard is crucial for ensuring the continued safe and reliable operation of tanks throughout their service life. Notably, API 653 is fundamentally […]

We can assert that Electrical Engineering is one of the most abstract branches of all engineering, and maybe because of that, it is hard to understand and study.  However, with a suitable training, it is possible to be immersed in the electrical engineering world and understand its role in the design of industrial plants. Electricity […]

First of all, it should be considered that transport and erection operations of pressure vessels could be focused from two different points of view, which are intrinsically related. On the one hand, the pressure vessel must not be damaged under no circumstances, since the moment the equipment leaves the manufacturer’s workshop until it is installed […]
