Oil refinery optimization
All major process in refineries are based on thermal intensive reaction and partial separation
New environmental standards have brought about challenging requirements for large capital expenditures and increased hydrogen usage for low sulfur fuels. This set of new regulations requires plants to reduce air pollution emissions (NOx), leading to costly equipment retrofits and upgrades. This means that you must be aware of safety, emissions and cost reduction issues such as improving unit and refinery reliability, refinery energy conservation and product loss reduction.

of all refinery streams in the USA now pass through hydrotreaters for conversion, finishing, and pretreatment purposes. Hydrodesulfurization is the largest application of catalytic technology in terms of the volume of material processed. (Source: Topsøe H., Clausen B.S., Massoth F.E. (1996) Hydrotreating Catalysis.

Measurements in crude distillation columns
Getting an accurate and reliable measurement at the distillation column is critical for yield accounting, meeting production targets, planning and scheduling. You need to maximize the feed rate while ensuring the mixture of crude types meets environmental specifications. Troubles could lead to costly shutdowns. This is why our experienced team of engineers can help design and select the right devices for your critical measuring points e.g. guided wave radar (Levelflex).
Greater process availability and reliability
Safety risks are minimized
Lowest total cost of ownership
Desulfurization, prevent channeling & hotspots in hydrofiner
Due to environmental regulations, the sulfur content in oil products has to be limited, and this can only be achieved by catalytic desulfurization in a Hydrofiner. Proven in use in many applications around the world, the multipoint temperature assembly Octoplus contains individual temperature sensors mounted in an individual nozzle. Your vessel requires only a minimum number of nozzles and openings to provide enough temperature measuring points for 3D monitoring.
Thermocouples can be retracted and changed during vessel operation, avoiding an unplanned shut down
Fully engineered solution for your needs
Increased efficiency, reliability and safety
Monitoring the efficiency of steam boilers pays off
A typical steam boiler often consumes many times the initial capital expense in fuel usage annually. The investment cost for a boiler can easily be five times lower than the yearly fuel consumption. Consequently, a difference of just a few percentage points in boiler efficiency between units will result in substantial fuel savings. Our smart scale energy solutions for steam systems help you to monitor your boiler's efficiency.
