Thermodynamic analysis

º Pump station power failure, operational trip-up, and pipe break modelling
º Determination of safe pump ramp-up and ramp-down times for pumps via actuated valves, VFDs, etc.
ºPump station operational risk assessmentsAnalysis of full and partial valve closure scenarios

º Thermodynamic tests have been carried out throughout the world. In Mexico, our largest pumping station is only larger than 57,000 kW (divided in 9 pumps).
º The pumping efficiency is obtained directly by pressure and temperature measurements in suction and discharge.
º The inefficiency in pumping in converted to heat, which heats the water.
º The water in the pump discharge is warmer than on the suction side, and the equipment has a resolution of up to 1 mK (0.001 oC).

TRANSIENT PRESSURE – HYDRAULIC MODEL

º Comprehensive hydraulic transient analysis and hydraulic modelling of fluid systems, including: water transmission and distribution systems, pressurized or open channel wastewater/sewerage systems, oil and gas pipelines, jet fuel supply systems, hydroelectric installations.
º Transient modeling and analysis, through Hydratek's TransAM software
º Hydrodynamic design of air valves for the purpose of minimizing secondary transients
º Inverse transient analysis and transient model calibration
º Short-term and long-term (permanent) transient pressure monitoring

Structural analysis

º Service of designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures, building enclosures, and materials.  
º Projects to design the rehabilitation of structures like tanks, bulk concrete pieces, water pipelines, etc.

Tendon Reinforcement Design

Projects to design the rehabilitation of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) by an efficient polystrand external hoop tendon system.
The PCCP pipes could be repaired, rather than replaced whit this method that restores the prestress force and keeps PCCP pipelines in service. With this system repairs can be easily and quickly installed. It is of great benefit that the pipes do not have to be de-watered or removed, but they are strengthened in-situ once excavated.
We provide you the better design for your project, we solution the problems and the projects.

HOT / WET TAP OVERVIEW

º Hot/Wet Tap is defined as using a drilling machine to cut a hole into an in-service, under-pressure piping system. Hot/Wet tapping is a process of cutting holes into pipe, tanks, or any pressurized vessel without interrupting system function and with no release or loss of product.
º Hot taps permit new tie-ins to existing systems, the insertion of devices into the flow stream, permanent or temporary bypasses, and are the preparatory stage for line plugging.
º Hot/Wet/DryTap allows our customers to modify, maintain and repair pressurized systems with no interruption of production. Typical applications of a Hot Tap include making a branch connection, initiating a bypass and allowing performance of a Line Stop.

Available in size ranges 1/2 inch through 96 inch diameter cut sizes.
Available off the shelf for up to 1480 psig maximum operating pressure and temperatures as high as 700° F. Custom designs and packers offered for higher system requirements.
Complete dimensional compatibility with industry standards of consumables and equipment. This means that most other major brands of cutters, pilot drills, holders, adapters, etc. will also fit onto our new generation of equipment.Install pig sigs and thermo wells.
