Re: Safe Operating Limits - API 754

In simple words, "SOLE-Max & SOLE-Min process values in the system is defined as HH/LL alarm value which is safe operating limit or SIS activation value."
"OWEL is the process value which will be measured between 50% of high/low alarm valve and of high-high/low-low alarm value ( SIS activation value ...

Re: Trays levelling and efficiency

sys1 wrote: 14 Oct 2026, 06:45 Trays efficiency gets reasonably affected by the leveling.
And that disturbance in the level happens during operations as well due to thermal expansion of tray deck.
Particularly relatedto when having valve trays as bubble cap ones are prone to leakage even when moderately out of level.

Re: Trays levelling and efficiency

Actually, it is not only the levelling but the sagging of the complete tray deck which is needed to be checked.
In addition the outlet weir levelness is important to check as well.

Re: ClampOX - Temporary Repairs Engineering Software

Does it necessary to have a software to engineer the temporary repairs?
I do not think any of our site engineers are using any engineering tools, spare some spreadsheets, if they might be having them.
