What are the common rotating and stationary equipment used in refineries?
Thread Content
I have recently joined an engineering company in the petrochemical industry, where I am mainly responsible for project management. I would like to learn about the equipment in the petrochemical industry, including towers, reactors, pumps, pipelines, and other such devices. There are also civil engineering tasks before construction, and now I don’t know where to start – should I focus on welding or equipment installation? Please ask an expert for guidance! ! !
In terms of project management, moving equipment primarily refers to large-scale units such as compressors – which can be of positive-displacement or rotary type – steam turbines, various types of pumps and fans. These devices are installed on-site to meet production requirements, and they must also comply with relevant standards and specifications. The associated piping systems have specific requirements regarding piping layout, stress-free installation, cleanliness standards, as well as processes such as acid washing, passivation, and oil flushing； For static equipment, this includes towers, heat exchangers, tanks, and reactors. It involves internal components as well as auxiliary systems, all of which must be constructed in accordance with relevant standard requirements. Of course, it is also necessary to take into account the owner’s requirements for inspection, verification, and adjustment, and to make corrections as needed for specific issues. . . .
“Mainly responsible for project management”~~~“I don’t know where to start – should I focus on welding or equipment installation? ”~~~Strictly speaking, project management includes quality management, schedule management, process management........... The original poster is unsure whether to start with welding or installation; this means that the main focus remains on quality control, and it’s likely the client’s on-site staff involved. My personal suggestion is to first become familiar with the relevant standards before discussing other aspects~~~~~~~~
It’s the supervisor, not the client. . .
