Advanced Piping Design is an intermediate-level handbook covering guidelines and procedures on process plants and interconnecting piping systems. As a follow up with Smith's best-selling work published in 2007 by Gulf Publishing Company, The Fundamentals of Piping Design, this handbook contributes more customized information on the necessary process equipment required for a suitable plant layout, such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks, cooling towers and more! While integrating equipment with all critical design considerations, these two volumes together are must-haves for any engineer continuing to learn about piping design and process equipment.
Peter Smith is an independent consultant based in Europe with 30 years of experience in the onshore and offshore sectors of the oil and gas industry. He has worked on design and construction projects for, Exxon, Total, Mobil, Woodside Petroleum, Shell, Statoil, Bluewater, Elf, and Huffco Indonesia.

All the compression cylinders are on one side of the frame and cylinder diameters and lengths vary according to the composition, pressure, and volume of gas to be compressed. Dimensions from frame center line to cylinder nozzles vary with compression forces. (Courtesy of Red Bag/Bentley Systems, Inc.) Note: Gas engine may take a V form. | 67 |

| Figure 5-11 | Piping and decoking of the heater (courtesy of Red Bag/Bentley Systems, Inc.). After tubes become headed, steam is injected at the convection inlets, valves 1, 2, 4, and 5 are closed; 3 is open. To start burning, steam flow is reduced and air is introduced by opening valve 4. For reverse flow, valves 2, 3, 4, and 6 are closed; 1 and 5 are open. Valve 2 is opened only if reverse burning is required. While pass 1 is being decoked, steam is injected into pass 2 to keep the tubes cool. | 132 |
