Non-Invasive Measurement of Pulsations
With operating pressures up to 3,500 bar (51000 psi), LDPE plants are outstanding in the group of large chemical plants. Ethylene is compressed by a combination of different piston compressors. …
Vibration and Pulsation Check after Revamp
With the help of a metrological examination of the plant during normal operation it can be ensured that the dynamic load of the plant is within the expectation range and within the applicable orientation values.
Assessment of the Dynamic Condition of an EVA Plant
Imagine an aged EVA plant with a tubular reactor. The plant has been put in operation in the 1970’s and has been continuously modified and improved. After a major overhaul …
Optimization of a 300 kta LDPE plant
Imagine a state of the art LDPE plant. The plant has been in operation for several years and the operational experience of the owning company is high. A project to …
Poor Lifetime of Hyper Compressor Valves
In a state-of-the art LDPE plant a poor lifetime of a compressor valve can cause severe production losses due to the high production capacities. By means of pulsation measurements and a tuned pulsation study this type of malfunction can be revealed and effective countermeasures can be identified.
Failures of High-Pressure Pipes
Imagine a hyper compressor installation in an LDPE/EVA application. In the interstage pipes connected directly to cylinders of the second stage are failing repeatingly, causing a significant threat to the …
Broken Bolts at Intercooler and Reactor Racks
Imagine an intercooler or a pipe reactor of an LDPE/EVA plant where the bolts of the steel support are breaking repeatingly. Due to the high-risk potential of these equipment an …
