Project Overview: XCEED developed, designed, and analyzed a double wall piping system specifically for the safe transport of deuterium gas. This system was crucial for ensuring the integrity and safety of the gas handling processes within the facility.
Design and Routing:
- Routing Strategy: The double-wall piping was strategically routed through the steel superstructure of the building. This routing was carefully planned to avoid any potential impacts or interferences from load handling equipment, ensuring optimal operational safety.
- Additional Shielding: Where protection from the building structure was insufficient, additional shielding was designed to safeguard the double wall tubing. This ensures that the piping system remains protected from external impacts and environmental factors.
Compliance and Analysis:
- Pipe Stress Analysis: The double wall piping system underwent a thorough analysis for compliance with B31.3 pipe stress limits, utilizing advanced Pipe Stress Analysis Software. This analysis confirmed that the system met the necessary engineering standards and safety regulations, ensuring reliability and durability under operational conditions.
Outcome: The successful development and analysis of the double wall piping system for deuterium gas not only enhances safety and compliance but also optimizes the infrastructure of the facility. This project reflects XCEED’s commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions that prioritize safety and operational efficiency.
