After using the standard correlations to determine the optimum diameter of the main pipes in a process plant, the real work starts. The pipe has to have an orientation and an elevation. It must connect to all the other pipes. Thermal expansion and contraction must be accounted for. The instrument fittings and tubing runs must be specified. That is the essence of pipe design. The pipe designer or design team needs a systematic approach to translate a job from concept to a comprehensive set of drawings. This article presents one set of steps that has worked in the field. We decided to cast it as a manual because it may prove most useful in that format. We consider it as a compilation of best practices. All the steps are essential and grouped in an appropriate order. We leave it to the readers to draw up matching checklists for their own use. More >>

Gas sensors interact with a gas to initiate the measurement of its concentration. The sensor then provides output to an instrument to display the measurements.
pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) instruments measure or monitor pH (relative concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in a solution) as well as ORP.
Clarifiers and screens are used to remove solids from liquids through gravity settling or a mechanical screening process.
Adsorption equipment removes contaminants from gases and liquids by means of chemical adsorption.
Softeners remove the hard calcium and magnesium minerals from water .

When handling gas, we usually encounter two types of flow. The most common one is non-expanding flow. This is the normal condition in most operating process lines. Generally, the flow is isenthalpic.
