STATIC & ROTATING EQUIPMENTS

Hi auchman,

These are very general classifications. Generally, static equipment are those having no moving parts, such as a shell-and-tube heat exchanger or a steam ejector. A static mixer is a long tube or pipe with stationary spiraled vanes inside. As the process fluid being mixed has to negotiate all of the twists in the tube, it is thereby mixed.

Rotating equipment is just what it sounds like. Examples of rotating equipment are: a pump, a turbine mixer, or a compressor.

HI Mike

Pls explain me what is the reciprocating pump applications. I have centrifugal pump and rotary pump applications only.

Thanks & Regards

A recip pump uses a plunger (piston) to pump liquid in much the same way that a recip compressor pumps gas. Recip pumps tend to be used for liquid injection, catalyst injection, and as mud pumps in oil well drilling operation. If you need very high discharge pressure, it will likely be a recip pump.

dear steve s.

thanks. You know everything, you are great.

with kindest respect,

No, not everything... just a lot of process machinery trivia...

Both of those fit the category of <...ROTATING EQUIPMENTS...>.

Which equipments can be classified as static and rotating equipments in the oil industry?

What criteria are used for such classifications?

Dear Auchman,

Mainly, static equipment are Heat Exchangers, Pipping, valves, Cloumn, Storage Tanks, Coolers, Tubings etc.

And Rotating Equipment are : Steam Turbines, Pumps, Gear Boxes, Motors, Compressor, Blowers, Cooling tower fans etc.

I just open this forum & hopely not too late to give info. As I know Static Equipments is any equipments ; it's stay fix on its seat/place and Rotating Equipments is was any equipments and rotate radialy on its axis and have their own bearing journal.
