V. CAPABILTIES AS LEAD PIPE STRESS ENGINEER
* Expertise in executing projects of Piping Stress Analysis
* Expertise in Piping Stress Analysis of cryogenic pipeline for LNG projects both for onshore
terminals and offshore FSU/FSRU
* Expertise in using Caesar II for static and dynamic analysis of critical piping systems.
* Expertise in stress analysis of high temperature piping systems connected to static
equipment, as per the applicable standards like Heat Exchangers, Vessels, Columns, Drums,
Reactors, Air Fin Fan coolers, Tanks, PSV lines.
* Expertise in stress analysis of high temperature piping systems connected to rotary
equipment, as per the applicable standards for Pumps (hot and cold), Compressors, Turbines
* Expertise in applying the relevant and applicable design standards like API 560 (heaters),
API 610(pumps), API 661 (air fin fan coolers), API 617 (compressors), NEMA SM23 (turbines).
* Expertise in manual thickness calculations, pipe sizing, equipment sizing
* Competent in analysis of FRP piping (BS 7159). Their Difference from Metallic piping,
parameters differences like physical properties, allowable etc.
* Expertise in spring design SPR and CPR, taking care of angulations, variability, top up and
bottom out conditions for variable spring hangers
* Expertise in dynamic analysis using Caesar II like Modal analysis (vibration), Time history
analysis (surge, water hammer), Response Spectrum analysis (earthquake) and Harmonic
analysis.
1. INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITIES TO AUDIT PIPING SYSTEM DURING PRE-COMMISSIONING AND SITE TROUBLE SHOOTING
:
* Preparation on Audit reports with suggestions and recommendations for both design and
construction departments.
* Trouble shooting of piping vibration problems.
* Modal analysis and harmonic analysis with FFT plots.
* Knowledge of vibration measuring equipment like accelerometers etc.
2. INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITIES TO WORK AS OWNER'S ENGINEER FOR STRESS ANALYSIS WORK
* Review of the third-party Pipe Stress Analysis for Owner
* Ensuring the design quality, safety and integrity is maintained
* Ease of operation and maintenance
* Timely completion of project
3. SOME CRICTICAL STRESS ANAYSIS WORK
* MRPL 24-inch Catalyst line from TSS to FSS at 760C: This site problem was extremely critical
as temperature of line was 760C, line totally supported on CPRs and special supports. There
was bowing in the line. Root cause of the problem was identified, and suitable solution was
provided in 2 days.
* FCCU 24-inch PRT turbine outlet: Designed initially for 260C, its temperature was required
to increase to 326C without any major modification in layout. It required precise spring
locations and load selection for balancing of the system keeping proper alignment both with
spring locked and unlocked conditions and nozzle loads within allowable.
* DHT reactor 24-inch outlet: As piping was supported for separate structure and connected to
reciprocating compressor line required special effort to meet the nozzle load criteria and
pulsation.
