Abstract A set of Heavy Vacuum Gas Oil (HVGO) pumps in a 300 kbbl/day operating Upgrader Plant experienced repeated failures; typically less than 7 weeks. The pumps run continuously in a high-pressure, high temperature and corrosive environment and their functional status directly affects the reliability of the plant. Upon research, an experimental strain measurement technique using very high resolution laser digital imagery and optical metrology was found from military and advanced aerospace applications to verify high level dimensional accuracy of critical components [1]. Application to a complex and operating bitumen upgrader was unknown. The objective of this project was to use advanced optical metrology with digital image processing techniques employing multiple laser and high-speed cameras capable of generating pump and pipe component’s real time strain images, displacement and rate of change. Optical metrology can analyze the mechanical properties and behavior of many materials and in various test scenarios [2]. Hot and cold operating service, with variations in flow and temperature all dynamically affect the strain measurements. Three significant advantages of the optical method are: i. Avoids a host of problems of strain gauge application, wiring and setup. ii. The problems of temperature sensitivity and correction are overcome. [3] iii. Gathers much more extensive data than possible with traditional methods. The vibration characteristics of the pumps and related hardware were analyzed using high resolution laser and photogrammetric digital imagery and digital strain mapping analysis to determine the characteristics that would ensure the long-term reliable and safe operation of the HVGO pumps. The stress and deformation analysis were performed on the operating pumps in a variety of normal (1280 m3/hr.) and upset operating conditions including under partial and full load conditions. Dynamic and modal analysis of the pumps was developed and analyzed. The displacement and tensor fields of the hardware including the pumps, bases and piping were measured using high resolution laser cameras and analyzed. From the high-speed data gathering and loading analysis showed the deformation and stress affecting the pump and related hardware. The key variables undermining reliable performance were revealed and from the data the necessary remedial action was determined. The pumps have operated for over 30months to the time of writing without repeat failure. This paper should be read in conjunction with PVP 2020-21203; Investigation and Resolution of the Fluid Structure Interaction of High Rate HVGO Pumps.

Gas Outburst

Outburst cavity formed during coal and gas outburst can be pear shaped, elliptical, or just like an irregularly elongated ellipsoid, its capacity is always smaller than the volume of ejected coal. And the gas emission quantity is almost 4 to 10 times as gas content in ejected coal. These are two different expressions of the same problem. To find the reasons for the decrease of outburst cavity volume and the increase of gas emission quantity per ton, by using the finite element code ANSYS, the damage zone and the failure zone of the outburst cavity were determined based on the static and dynamic combination method. In this paper, the reason for the decrease of the outburst volume was explained.

As fundamental load-bearing parts, the cylindrical steel structures of transmission towers relate to the stability of the main structures in terms of topological relation and performance. Therefore, the periodic monitoring of a cylindrical steel structure is necessary to maintain the safety and stability of existing structures in energy transmission. Most studies on deformation analysis are still focused on the process of identifying discrepancies in the state of a structure by observing it at different times, yet relative deformation analysis based on the data acquired in single time has not been investigated effectively. In this study, the piecewise cylinder fitting method is presented to fit the point clouds collected at a single time to compute the relative inclination of a cylindrical steel structure. The standard deviation is adopted as a measure to evaluate the degree of structure deformation. Meanwhile, the inclination rate of each section is compared with the conventional method on the basis of the piecewise cylinder fitting parameters. The validity and accuracy of the algorithm are verified by real transmission tower point cloud data. Experimental results show that the piecewise cylinder fitting algorithm proposed in this research can meet the accuracy requirements of cylindrical steel structure deformation analysis and has high application value in the field of structure deformation monitoring.

Water Holding

The substitution of animal protein with proteins of plant origin is a viable way to decrease the negative impact caused by animal husbandry on the environment. Pulse consumption has been widely promoted as a nutritious contribution to protein supplementation. In this study, an emulsion of lentil (Lens culinaris) protein isolate is fermented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to manufacture a yoghurt alternative and the techno-functional properties compared to a dairy- and a soy-based product with similar protein contents. The yoghurt-like products are subjected to large and small deformation analysis, quantification of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP), water holding capacity tests, protein profile analysis and the gel structure is visualised by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The lentil yoghurt alternative shows good water holding capacity, high firmness and consistency values in large deformation analysis, with cohesiveness and viscosity not significantly different from that of dairy yoghurt. The high gel strength and rigidity of the lentil yoghurt gels measured by small deformation analysis is well-reflected in the dense protein matrix in the CLSM graphs. FODMAP content of the lentil yoghurt is very low, making it suitable for consumption by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. Our results show that lentil protein isolate is an excellent base material for producing a plant-based yoghurt alternative.
