Skid structural analysisSkid structural analysisReliability of reciprocating compressor package ensured.Client: A designer of storage and equipment for the oil industry. Tough Problem: A study required the analysis of a skid structure designed for a reciprocating compressor package. The structure is designed to experience a variety of loading conditions such as lifting, FPSO movement including roll, pitch and yaw and unbalanced forces from equipment. Practical Solution: A finite element analysis was performed and worst case scenarios of FPSO movement were analysed. Other loading due to forces generated from reciprocating equipment was also considered. Analysis was concluded with a detailed fatigue assessment to ensure reliability. Bottom Line: SVT's extensive experience in analysis of skid structures and fatigue assessment improved the vendor solution. |
