Refinery Debottlenecking via Advanced Contaminant Separation
On a daily basis, refiners are faced with many debottlenecking challenges, encompassing production quota increases, refinery upsets, changing feedstocks, unscheduled shutdowns, off spec product, environmental exceedances. Millions of dollars are typically at risk when targets cannot be met. Refinery subject matter experts, engineers, operators and maintenance personnel are seeking ways to optimize their debottlenecking activities.
This presentation will start with an introduction to many of the key bottlenecks we are seeing around the globe that can be resolved with high efficiency separations equipment. We will then move to an introduction of the high efficiency filters and coalescers enabling problem resolution. Next we will progress to a detailed applications overview by unit operation, showing how the separations solution is implemented. Lastly we will examine actual installations and provide the savings and benefits experienced at refinery sites around the globe.
