Our Purpose: Help Achieve Excellence — We conduct hydroprocessing unit surveys for our clients to identify operational changes and low-cost, high-impact projects that can lead to performance excellence in hydroprocessing units.
We have the necessary capability and experience to deal with hydrocracking units and all other fixed-bed hydrotreating units, especially those treating:
Our Approach in Making the Surveys — A small team of our process and engineering technology specialists together with the designated client personnel conduct an on-site survey of the subject unit. The survey builds on existing information such as that obtained from equipment drawings, maintenance history records, operational and reliability issues, catalyst performance data, and hydrogen balances. The survey focuses on these areas:
Survey Deliverables — Upon completion of a survey, the team meets with refinery management to present the results, including recommendations that will lead to improved unit process performance and mechanical reliability. Final documentation of the survey is submitted shortly thereafter, and typically includes specific action plans to implement such items as:
