Pipe Expansion Loop Design
Pipe Expansion Loop Design Published January 2023 Download (coming soon) Keywords Expansion Loops Piping Flexibility Stress Compensation Summary The purpose of this file is to illustrate quick sizing of the expansion loops. Pipe expands when heated and contracts when cooled. When a pipe allowed to move (unrestrained), it is free to expand or contract without generating thermal stresses. Once the pipe is restrained at the ends (by anchors or equipment nozzles), thermal stresses can be generated. These stresses are a result of a system’s lack of flexibility and ability to compensate for thermal expansion or contraction. Expansion compensation in the form of expansion loops, 90° elbows and z-bends are a simple, low cost and low maintenance design elements that can be used to increase system flexibility and decrease pipe stresses. These arrangements can be observer in Figure 1. Hints 90° changes in piping direction are the most efficient design to absorb thermal expansion/contraction. Utilize any natural flexibility of the piping system (any lateral offsets, changes of direction). Use strategic location for the pipe supports to avoid over restriction of the [...]
Foam Suppression System for Soap Manufacturer
A soap manufacturer in the Toronto area had issues with excessive foaming in production areas, wastewater tanks, and sewer systems on their property. They were consuming significant volumes of de-foaming chemicals and still encountering issues. They turned to JNE Environmental for a plant assessment and solution.
Achieving Sewer Compliance through pH Correction
A beverage manufacturer in the Toronto area was facing notices of violation from their municipality stating their wastewater pH was too acidic and out of compliance. Their existing treatment system was being overloaded with high flow rates and could no longer keep up. That is when they turned to JNE Environmental for assistance.
Rental Unit Boosts Treatment Power for Steel Manufacturer
A prominent steel coke manufacturer in Detroit reached out to JNE Environmental for assistance. Their dissolved air treatment system was not capable of floating their sludge waste and was performing well below acceptable standards. JNE proposed a new, properly engineered recycled air stream (RAS) system to deliver sufficient dissolved air into their chemically treated waste stream.
