What is pressure drop when it comes to piping? More precisely, pressure drop is a phenomenon that comes from studies on fluid mechanics and is due to friction caused by the viscosity of the fluid. This means that the higher the viscosity of a flui... Training Jun 1, 2023
Standards - Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) What is a PFD A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram used to show the flow of materials and the main equipment in a process. In general, only the equipment that is in direct contact with the efflue... Training Jun 1, 2023
Procedure for Changing the Media To begin with, the equipment needed to perform the media change properly are the following: Bag & holders: used to deposit the media once extracted; Media extractor: specialized tools used to extract ... Training Jun 1, 2023
Procedure for determining MCFM flow capacity - “Filterability Test” This procedure estimates the maximum flow rate that one MCFM XLP filter can handle given a representative sample of the fluid to be filtered. It is based on cleaning the screen continuously, which res... Training Jun 1, 2023
How to Calculate the Capacity of a Deionization System (SDI) The capacity of a deionization system (SDI) can be measured in several ways. It can be calculated using milliequivalents (MEQ) per liter, per cubic foot of resin or in grains. Generally speaking, 1 ME... Training Jun 1, 2023
