Technological survey of process units
Comprehensive auditing (survey) is a study of “hidden potential” including, but not limited to, the following aspects of the operation of technological installations:
- Maximum extraction of target products and reduction of process losses.
- Evaluation of the performance of catalysts, thermal processes, adsorbents and absorption systems, within the framework of competencies and comparisons with analogues.
- Evaluation of the performance of separation and distillation equipment. Study of the operation of internal contact devices for columns and separators.
- Evaluation of the performance of heat exchange equipment (including steam and fired heaters).
- Evaluation of the performance of critical dynamic equipment.
- Overall energy assessment of the plant's operation compared to similar facilities. Study of inter-plant thermal integration. Identification of process limitations.
- Maximum use of the potential of natural (fuel) gas in order to reduce emissions into the environment.
