Master the layout, nozzle orientation, piping routing, and mechanical design of refinery towers using industry standards
What you'll learn
Determine Tower Elevation: Calculate the required vessel height based on NPSH and reboiler hydraulic head to prevent pump cavitation
Design Safe Access: Configure platforms, ladders, and safety cages according to vertical clearance standards (the 2100mm & 3600mm rules).
Optimize Nozzle Locations: Correctly orient manholes, reflux inlets, and instrument nozzles to align with internal trays and downcomers.
Route Process Piping: Design flexibility loops for feed lines and overhead vapor lines to handle thermal expansion.
Engineer Vessel Supports: Select and design proper lifting lugs, davits, and pipe support clips welded to the vessel shell.
Perform Mechanical Calculations: Apply formulas for wind load, seismic load, and shell stress analysis.
Requirements
Basic understanding of engineering drawings (P&ID and Piping Isometrics).
No prior experience with vessel design is required; we start from the basics.
