Piping engineering is one of the pillars of industrial plant design. Far from being limited to drawing lines on layout drawings, this specialty coordinates a vast network of interdisciplinary interactions, makes key decisions at critical project stages, and represents a significant percentage of both the cost and time commitment in engineering and construction. This guide […]

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 […]

Wet H2S damage is a phenomenon affecting materials in a variety of industries, especially those related to oil and gas, refining, and chemical processing. This gas, in its liquid form combined with water, known as “Wet H2S”, represents a significant challenge for material selection, due to its ability to accelerate corrosion and embrittlement of metallic […]

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 […]

The Importance of a Good Plot Plan in an Industrial Plant In the design and operation of an industrial plant, one of the most critical elements is the creation of a good plot plan. A plot plan refers to the detailed, scaled representation of the physical layout of the plant’s components. It serves as a […]

Equipment inspections in an industrial plant are essential to ensure the safety and operability of the plant. Inspection plans should detail both the inspections to be carried out, mentioned in the previous blog article, and the frequency with which they should be carried out. Firstly, it is essential to carry out pressure vessel (PV) inspections […]
