INDUSTRY INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER
Welcome to Equity's Industry Insights Newsletter
A comprehensive asset management program includes a variety of fixed and rotating equipment, each presenting different maintenance, inspection, and operational demands. Unfortunately, there are times when the structural engineering components take a backseat to the mechanical engineering requirements. This month, Industry Insights takes a different approach and reinforces the value of structural and mechanical engineering working collaboratively for better asset management.

Structural Engineering Applications for Fixed Equipment Analysis
Typically, maintenance teams are focused on a facility’s pressure vessels, piping, and tanks, which leaves structural infrastructure to be overlooked. In this article, Derek shares several case studies that highlight how combining structural and mechanical engineering approaches can solve several unique fixed equipment challenges.
ASME Silo Design: An Introduction to ASME SBS
Up until the recent publication of ASME SBS-2023: Structures for Bulk Solids (ASME SBS), there has not been a comprehensive American standard for the design and construction of metallic structures
Nozzle Design – By Rule or By Analysis
Are you struggling with time-consuming finite element analysis (FEA) for nozzle connections? The Nozzle FEA tool will cut FEA analysis time from weeks to minutes while ensuring full ASME VIII-2 compliance. In this article, the authors compare nozzle design by rule to design by analysis and highlight how this webtool consistently outperforms the competition.

Practical Electrical Considerations in Process Plants
Electrical systems are often overlooked in process plants—that is, until something goes wrong. This article shares practical best practices to improve power reliability, reduce downtime, and strengthen the safety and resilience of your facility’s electrical infrastructure.
Practical Guidance for Plant Turnarounds
Typically, turnarounds pack months of work into a very short time period—what you do before, during, and after can make or break long-term reliability. In this article, Kraig and Neal provide practical guidance to help you better plan, execute, and close out TARs turnarounds with confidence.
Applying High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPSs) in Petrochemical Plants: Reducing Overpressure Risk Through Instrumented Solutions
HIPPS are emerging as a key alternative to conventional overpressure protection in upstream and pipeline operations. In this article, the author explores how HIPPS improves safety, reduces emissions, and addresses the limitations of traditional pressure relief methods.
