Last updated: July 31, 2023

iFluids Engineering has carried out Hydraulic calculations for a Palm oil Facility that consists of tank farms, transfer pumps and its associated facilities such as:

  • Palm oil storage facility
  • Crude Fatty Acid storage facility
  • Palm Fatty Acid Distillate storage facility

The scope of work includes the following activities:

  • To perform detailed engineering on 44 tanks and allied facilities of palm oil tanks.
  • Developing P&ID based on given general arrangement drawing and as per API standards.
  • In Hydraulic calculation, finding out the line sizes for each line including pump suction and discharge line, tank inlet and outlet line.
  • Finding out line sizes based on velocity and pressure drop criteria.
  • In Pump sizing, finding the pump differential head, suction and discharge pressure, NPSHa, power and its design conditions.
  • In Utility consumption list, finding out the consumption rate of Steam, Nitrogen, Instrument air, Compressed air and Service water
  • In Utility Sizing, finding out the line sizes for each utility.
  • PSV calculation.
  • In Line list preparation, providing the line number, operating pressure and temperature and design pressure and temperature
  • Pump data sheet preparation

The study methodology was carried as below:

  • Hydraulic calculation is performed based on NORSOK standards.
  • Spread sheet is used for calculations.
