Hi everyone,
I have a general question to ask. Recently I was questioned by my superior on the use of API standards for power generation and chemical projects. As per my superior's view, he is with the impression that API standards are ONLY applicable for petroleum or petroleum derivative type of engineering projects. Therefore, it is inapplicable for chemical, power generation or even biofuel projects. He claims that British Standards are more suited to such projects. By the way, his engineering experience is focused toward palm oil mill operations and design.
From my opinion, API or BS are equally applicable for both petroleum and non-petroleum based projects. I would like to know your opinion on this matter.
Regards,
Victor
