Feedwater Heater Tube Sleeving — Con Edison

By CTI Industries

This paper describes utility experience with a tube sleeving technique used for extending the remaining life of two heaters that have been rapidly degrading.

Solar-Powered Thermal Mass Flow Meters For Oil Field Flare Gas Monitoring System

By Fluid Components International

How do you operate new gas flow meters at an oil field without utility power service in the remote southern Bakken formation region of North Dakota? That was the challenge facing Legacy Reserves LP at remote sites in the Williston Basin, ND.

Understanding The Mid-Wave Gas Detection Camera

By FLIR Systems, Inc – Oil and Gas Solutions

The gas detection camera technique has a wide range of potential uses in the petrochemical industry, all of which have positive benefits for the owner of the plant. It is an accepted Alternate Work Practice in the Method 21 leak detection procedure and has clear time and cost benefits over the conventional VOC meter or sniffer method. Although limited to a certain extent by environmental conditions, the camera has proven many times that it can identify leaks at some distance thereby reducing the cost of surveys by removing the requirement to provide access to every potential leak path.
