A cost-effective XML-based integrated design system for pipe routing

The best piping configuration is the least expensive and offers the highest efficiency throughout its life term.This requires consideration of various factors such as total cost of ownership in addition to the total installation cost.

Water treatment industry gearing up for global demand

Despite 70 per cent of our planet being covered with water, it is still a dwindling resource. Saline water in seas and oceans makes up about 97 per cent of this amount and only 3 per cent can be counted as fresh water. The total usable freshwater supply for the ecosystems and humans is mere

Productivity improvement in generation of SOPs for Oil and Gas equipment manufacturing

The oil and gas equipment manufacturing sector is a high impact one. Any slippages in the process of manufacturing that result into faulty equipment may lead to complications at stages where reversing/ checking the error may not be possible. The manufacturers are therefore documenting their SOPs to maintain uniformity in processes and output across all

The hydro generator mantra renovate, modernize and uprate

Hydroelectric power generation has been around since the late 19th century. Generally seen as a renewable, environment friendly, non-polluting, low-cost and highly reliable source of energy, some 150 nations have hydel-power projects today. Hundreds of hydro-generators installed more than 60 to 80 years ago still operate across the world, using old technology. Given the long-time

Improving Throughput In Component Conformance And Maximize Output

Today’s fast-paced industrial scenario demands a drastic reduction in the timeline of a new product – from the design phase to component release. Component conformance, where a part is certified to suit the physical dimensions of the end product, takes up a major chunk of any industrial product timeline. This technical paper examines the impact

Cruise SFC reduction using a novel technique

A traditional problem faced by the civil aerospace industry is the SFC loss during the first fifty hours of the brand new engine’s flight. This loss in cruise SFC is due to deterioration caused by the rapid throttle movements by pilots, during flight operations. This white paper provides a solution to tackle the traditional problem

High speed process line principles and practices for an efficient production system

Today, the assembly line is fundamental to every manufacturing and production plant across the world. Productivity increased, and operational costs and time consumed reduced significantly. However, consumer needs and requirements did not diminish. People want quicker turnaround and flawless results. The need for yet another revolution: the High Speed Process Line was born. This white

Electric fault motor protection systems

It could be assumed that properly planned, dimensioned, designed, installed, operated and maintained motor systems and drives should not break down. In reality however, these conditions are hardly ever ideal. Statistics show that an annual downtime of 0.5-4% is to be expected, of which 30% of the motor breakdowns can be attributed to motor overloads.

Rising adoption of composites signify innovations in the aerospace industry

Composites are becoming increasingly important in the aerospace industry. At least 30-40 per cent of modern airframes are now made of composites, and this percentage is increasing rapidly due to technological advances in the field. The use of composites for primary structures such as fuselages and wings has grown significantly in transport aircraft. This white

Technical documentation overview

Technical documentation is an integral part of the introduction of a product or service to the market. An inefficient documentation process can have a significant effect on the financial success of a product or service.This white paper seeks to provide an overview of technical documentation for a product or service. It also highlights the tools
