Trillium Flow Technologies: Custom Hydrostatic Testing for Multistage Pumps

At Trillium Flow Technologies, Italy, we are able to apply differentiated pressure levels across multiple chambers during the hydrostatic testing of ring section multistage pumps when full API 610 compliance is not required. This capability is particularly useful for custom-engineered pumps in demanding applications like Power Generation and Water Handling, where it's crucial to simulate real operating conditions. We're currently testing a BB4 ring section centrifugal pump with the following chamber-specific pressures: - 20 barg in the suction casing and stuffing boxes - 40 barg in the balancing chamber - 317 barg in the interstage casings - 349 barg in the discharge casing These pressures reflect the client’s design specifications and help ensure reliability and safety before commissioning. This level of testing precision is made possible by our specialists’ expertise, supported by custom sealing solutions, instrumentation, and safety systems designed to isolate and monitor each chamber. #HydrostaticTesting #MultistagePumps #PumpTesting #PowerGeneration #WaterHandling

💡 In industrial instrumentation, pressure is one of the most critical process variables — used to monitor tanks, pumps, pipelines, and hydraulic systems. But not all pressure measurements are the same. There are three main types 👇 🔵 1️⃣ Absolute Pressure (Pabs) Measured relative to a perfect vacuum, it represents the true pressure exerted by a fluid. 🧮 Pabs = Patm + Pgauge 📌 Applications: vacuum systems, atmospheric monitoring, pharmaceutical packaging, and sensitive process control. 🟢 2️⃣ Gauge Pressure (Pgauge) Also called relative pressure, it’s measured relative to atmospheric pressure — the most common type in industry. 📏 A gauge reading 3 bar means 3 bar above atmospheric pressure. 📌 Applications: compressors, hydraulic circuits, pressurized tanks, and pumping systems. 🟠 3️⃣ Differential Pressure (ΔP) It’s the difference between two pressure points within a process. This measurement is key for calculating: 🔹 Flow rate (using an orifice plate or venturi), 🔹 Level in pressurized tanks, 🔹 Pressure drop across filters or pipelines. 🧮 ΔP = P1 – P2 📌 Applications: flow measurement, level detection, filter monitoring, and process optimization.   #Instrumentation #Automation #ProcessControl #PressureMeasurement #Engineering #Sensors #LevelMeasurement

Ensuring Absolute Safety with Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Systems In critical industrial applications, there's no compromise on safety and isolation. This detailed render beautifully illustrates a Double Block and Bleed (DBB) valve assembly, a cornerstone for achieving positive isolation in pipelines. As seen here, a DBB system features two main isolation valves (the large handwheel-operated valves) positioned in series. These "double blocks" create an impenetrable barrier, preventing process media from flowing through. Crucially, nestled between these two block valves is a smaller "bleed" valve (visible with the blue handles at the bottom). This bleed valve allows any trapped fluid or pressure in the cavity between the main blocks to be safely vented, providing absolute verification that the isolation is secure. This configuration is vital for safe maintenance, instrument calibration, and line integrity checks in industries where bypassing flow simply isn't an option. Understanding and correctly implementing DBB protocols is key to operational safety and efficiency! #DoubleBlockAndBleed #DBB #ProcessSafety #IndustrialValves #PipelineIntegrity #OilAndGas #Petrochemical #Engineering #SafetyFirst #Manufacturing.

What is PID in Instrumentation? PID = Proportional + Integral + Derivative – the most common control algorithm in process automation. 🔍 What does it do? It takes the error (difference between setpoint & actual value) and adjusts the output to keep the process stable. ✅ P – Proportional → Corrects based on present error ✅ I – Integral → Fixes past accumulated error ✅ D – Derivative → Predicts future error to avoid overshoot Example: If your tank level is low: P → Opens the valve based on how low it is I → Keeps opening if level stays low D → Slows down if level is rising too fast 💡 Where do we use PID? ✔ Flow Control ✔ Level Control ✔ Pressure Control ✔ Temperature Control #Instrumentation #Automation #ControlSystems #ProcessControl #PID #instrument #control #flow #level #pressure #temperature #integration
