Piping Stress Analysis – Europa Crown

This project provided piping stress analysis for Europa Crown. The problem The project involved a piping stress analysis for several steam and condensate lines which are part of a large vegetable oil refinery. The client had no previous experience with pipework construction and needed to know where, and how, the system should be supported. Once the supports had been added to the system, it was substantiated [...]

Superheater – Boiler Penetrations

Seismic Integrity Assessment Case Study DC White were tasked to assess the seismic integrity of the Hunterston B & Hinkley Point B boilers, in particular the superheater steam pipes and their penetrations into the reactor pressure boundary. These were seen to be potentially vulnerable to earthquake motions with the possibility that the boilers could topple and release steam into the reactor. The seismic response is dominated by [...]
