Abstract EN
Filter systems are widely used in petrochemical plants for removing solid impurities from hydrocarbon oils.
The backwash is the cleaning process used to remove the impurities on the sieves of the filters without a need to interrupt the operation of the entire system.
This paper presents a case study based on the actual project of a filter system in a petrochemical plant, to demonstrate the significant effect of vibration on the structural integrity of piping.
The induced vibration had led to the structural fatigue failure of the pipes connecting the filter system.
A preliminary assessment suggested that the vibrations are caused by the operation of backwashing of the filter system.
A process for solving the vibration problem based on the modal analysis of the filter system using the commercial finite element software for simulation is therefore proposed.
The computed natural frequencies of the system and the vibration data measured on site are assessed based on the resonance effect of the complete system including the piping connected to the filters.
Several approaches are proposed to adjust the natural frequencies of the system in such a way that an optimal and a reasonable solution for solving the vibration problem is obtained.
