Process Puzzler: Soothe A Skittish Supervisor
THIS MONTH’S PUZZLER
We use a carbon-steel spiral-tube heat exchanger as a condenser in our spray tower. Operating conditions normally are 100 psig at about 150°F. Treated chilled water at 45°F runs in the tube side. The shell side handles metal chlorides, e.g., FeCl2, VCl4 and TiCl4. These chlorides condense to form liquids and evaporate to form gases. Severe corrosion from chlorine and erosion was the reason why the spiral heat exchanger was chosen over a shell- and-tube one. The chlorine is usually dry but, occasionally, spikes of water upstream of the exchangers cause corrosion. One of our engineers is pushing the idea of cladding Type 304L stainless steel with a high nickel alloy. Coupon tests suggest this will improve service life. One concern is how bending the tube will affect cladding. How can we assure our nervous operations manager that this cladding will work? Do you have any other ideas? Keep in mind replacing the heat exchangers with another style will require a major change in piping around the units. Read more..

Auto Accidents and Risks for Suv Rollovers
The sport utility vehicle (SUV) has the highest rate of death in rollover accidents. According to government tests, SUV rollovers are almost three times more likely to occur than in the average passenger car, and the most stable SUV is still more unstable than the most unstable car. In 2002, nearly 11,000 people died in rollover accidents, 61 percent of which occurred in SUVs. With the number of people killed in SUV rollovers increasing by 14 percent per year, consumers should be aware of the risks SUVs pose to their families. Even more alarming than the rising rollover statistics is the withholding of rollover information by the government and auto manufacturers. Read more..

Koi Filters – Life on the Inside
Give your Koi the best life possible by installing Koi filters dedicated to providing optimum pond water health and cleanliness. You have to keep in mind that even though your pond water may be clear, it is not an indication that the water is necessarily clean. Harmful toxic chemicals, produced mainly by Koi waste, are colourless pollutants that can build up in the pond water to devastating levels. These toxins include ammonia and nitrite, which are by-products of Koi waste material. Dissolved ammonia waste is excreted through the Koi gills. This along with urine, and solid organic waste (faeces) add a constant supply of pollution to the pond water. In nature the sheer volume of water present, and any water current available, manages these toxic pollutants. In our Koi ponds we have to provide this system artificially using biological filters.
