Launching the New Equity Engineering Cloud (eec) Platform

Author: Daniel W. Spring, Ph.D., Group Head, Consulting Researcher I

On October 10, we launched the new interface of our Equity Engineering Cloud (eec) platform. The UX, R&D, Software, Marketing, and Business Development teams at E2G have been working together to develop a better experience for our existing and future eec clients. After launching the original version of the eec in January 2017, the interface has only required incremental improvements. To prepare for bigger and better things for the eec platform in the coming years, we decided an uplift to the interface this year was necessary.

Reformer MOV Cracking FFS Case Study

Authors: Kraig S. Shipley, P.E., Piping & Fired Heaters Principal Engineer II; Anthony J. Feller, Group Head, Senior Engineer II; Seetha Ramudu Kummari, Ph.D., P.E., Consulting Engineer I

This case study explores fatigue cracking in motor-operated valves (MOVs) used to cycle flow in and out of reformer unit reactors. Surface flaws were discovered during a recent turnaround which prompted further investigation. As only a few of the MOVs were opened and inspected, the owner-user was concerned about the extent and severity of cracks in additional valves. In this article, the authors share the details of the case study and how Equity’s recommendations helped the client make informed repair decisions.
