SUN LAND engineers execute hydraulic calculations during Basic and Detailed Engineering project phases to size a variety of equipment including pumps, control valves, and piping (including piping components). These calculations are essential to ensure optimal designs on equipment, and piping systems based on specific design criteria, piping routings, and source and destination process conditions while taking all operating cases into consideration.

 

We do all preliminary pipe routings during Basic Engineering and finalize during Detailed Engineering, and different design cases can include:

➢ Changes in fluid temperatures/densities

➢ Changes in source vessel/tank levels

➢ Different required flow rates

 

SUN LAND develops the piping system once all cases have been 3D modelled by PDMS then followed by preparing datasheets for all equipment and instruments including process flow diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Equipment List, and the Line List amongst others. These data can then be sent into the market for quotations, or we can do the procurement services for the customer too.

 

We use different software packages like PVTSim Nova packages, AFT Fathom (incompressible fluids), and AFT Arrow (compressible fluids) for the fluid property and flash simulations, and all designing steps.
