Fluid Flow Consultants, Inc.
Pipeline Surge Analysis & Multiphase Flow Consulting
We specialize in fluid transients and steady-state multiphase flow, and we have
some 35 years and 150 completed projects worth of experience.
The advantages of retaining Fluid Flow Consultants
to do the work are:
- We are acknowledged experts in the fields of pipeline hydraulics, surge
analysis and multiphase flow.
- We use our own software, authored and thoroughly understood by us, so we
waste no time learning how to use required applications.
- We thoroughly document everything we do.
- We are cost-effective. We can probably do the work in half the time (or
less) than it would take your own staff. Also, we do not have to buy or lease
pertinent application software (nor pass these costs onto you).
In order for us to give you a quotation, we need a sketch (even a hand-drawn one
will do) of the pipeline system showing how the various pipe sections connect,
where any product injection sites (sources), product sales or strip sites (sinks),
loops, pumps, valves, check valves, DRA injection sites, etc. are located,
and at least approximate data (pipe lengths, ODs, delivery (sink) pressures, source
pressures, flow rates, rough elevation profiles, Drag Reduction percentages, viscosities,
specific gravities, pump data (number of running units in series or parallel,
head versus flow curves, shut-down pressures, RPMs), valve types and closure times,
etc.). Also, describe briefly the problem you are trying to solve. (For example,
do the surge pressures exceed the pipe MOPs if any of the MOVs close? Are Surge
Relief Valves (SRVs) needed, and if so, what should the SRV size and set pressure
be and, what should the surge tank and relief line size be?)
Cost and time estimates are free and obligate you to nothing.
