Her career began in computational fluid dynamics working for Brian Spalding in Imperial College, London, on the COBALT project. She then spent about two years working on developing structural patents for the marine and the power distribution industries in England and Canada. Her rotating machinery career began in earnest at the oil sands Syncrude site in Fort McMurray, Alberta, in 1975. Four years later, she moved to Esso Resources and conventional oil and gas production until the “oil patch sat on its tail” at the end of 1981. She then accepted a three-year commission with the Canadian Air Force as Propulsion Systems Manager for all transportation engines in the Department of Defence Transport Command in Canada. She took charge of six helicopter engine fleets, as well as projects related to selecting replacements for two of those fleets. After that, she moved to the United States to start work as a senior engineer for Ryder Airline Services Division (ASD was also called Aviall and, before that, CooperAirmotive). At that point ASD was the largest independent overhaul facility for airline engines in the world, with a shop capacity of about 1000 engines a year. She ran technical support on second shift for 250 mechanics and their supervisors on the JT8D, JT3D, and CFM 56 engine lines. Three years later, she was made manager of the V2500 engine repair program, at that time the first and only designated facility for this engine in the United States. Two years later, after the engine line was up and running, she left to become an independent consultant, trainer, and writer. She has now lived and worked on four continents. Ms. Soares organizes one to two conference sessions annually for the International Gas Turbine Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and has done so since 1985. In May 2001 she was appointed to Fellow grade by ASME. Process Engineering Equipment Handbook is her fourth book. The first, Process Plant Machinery, Second Edition, was coauthored with Heinz Bloch, P.E. This work and Environmental Technology and Economics: Sustainable Development in Industry helped provide the present handbook with its broad perspective. Turboexpanders and Process Applications, her third book, also coauthored with Heinz Bloch, was released in 2001. All her books are used when appropriate as course instruction material for her own and others’ courses. Ms. Soares writes extensively for technical journals, such as Petroleum Economist, Asian Electricity, and International Power Generation. She also writes for more general audiences, with some television screenplays and articles for various international newspapers and magazines to her credit. A published photographer, she writes poetry and has staged multimedia performances of her work for organizations such as the city of Dallas. She is a scuba diver and licensed commercial pilot, and also enjoys swimming and hiking. In-30 Preface If you picked up this book you are probably one of those lucky people who run plants. Either a thinly spread engineer (branch of specialty is irrelevant), a newly promoted technical manager, or a harassed technologist or senior mechanic, who just was told: “See that plant out there? You’re in charge of making it work!” Even if you’ve been in plants for years, that’s enough to make your innards rumble. If you have just stepped out of school, into your first plant, or into a totally different plant from the previous one you were at, your reaction might be more severe, especially if you belong to one of the numerous organizations with no budget for rotating machinery specialists (who look after what moves a process through its paces) or environmental specialists (who make certain you don’t get fined or jailed, good intentions notwithstanding, as you run your plant). At this point, I should explain where I fit in with your agenda. Twenty-some years ago, some heated arguments on the subject of how much I wanted to be a rotating machinery specialist took place in Canada’s wild and woolly north. I was fencing with my boss, a process engineer, who was recommending I join his field. It was what my company needed, he asserted. I thought it needed both of us doing what we loved best. My career bears witness to the fact that I won the match, in the short- and long-term. Time since has brought a few things forcibly home to me. To start with, the more I dealt with plant machinery in any form, the more I accepted that process conditions could affect the performance of that machinery at least as much as actual mechanical characteristics. In operations, repair and overhaul, or retrofit design and reengineering, what keeps people like me a step ahead of the manufacturer’s field service representatives is knowledge of the process and familiarity with the controls that govern the entire system. In turn, the process engineer who gets handed a plant to run must acquire some basic knowledge of my bread and butter, the machinery that makes everything move up, down, or around. In large facilities, such as the ones I was fortunate enough to spend time in, there generally are in- house rotating machinery specialists. Often, though, the process engineer is not that lucky and gets everything—process components, machinery, controls, and all. Life handed me an education (after formal degree acquisition) in rotating machinery specialization and the environmental technology that goes with it (yes, we machinery “cranks” run the stuff that turns out arguably 80 percent of the gunk in the universe). While doing this, I worked with scores of process engineers, control engineers, and various other specialists on a variety of projects that were among the most high profile in the world in their own right. It was “arranging to be in the right place—an operating plant—to get the best education in the best school in the world.” After all, curriculum, undergraduate or otherwise, is not necessarily any comfort. In my day they rarely taught this stuff to process, chemical, or mechanical engineers xi [...]...
