Engineering and site support

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

We can perform CFD modelling to assess flow distribution and support the design or review of column and separator internals. The scope of the study and the operating cases are selected to suit the application and project requirements.

Finite element analysis (FEA)

We can perform FEA to assess stresses and deformation in internals and support structures under specified loading conditions. The scope of the analysis, loading conditions, acceptance criteria, and reporting are agreed to suit the application and project requirements.

Revamp engineering

We can perform revamp engineering to improve the capacity, separation efficiency, and reliability of existing columns and separator vessels. The scope may include hydraulic re-rating, internals replacement, and retrofit design, with reuse of the existing vessel wherever possible. The scope is selected to suit the operating conditions and project requirements.

Performance audit

We can perform performance audits to assess the operation of existing columns and separators and identify opportunities for improvement. The scope may include operating-data analysis, review of available diagnostic information, and recommendations for improving performance. The scope of the audit and reporting are agreed to suit the equipment, operating conditions, and project requirements.

Troubleshooting

We can perform troubleshooting to investigate flooding, weeping, fouling, and other performance issues in columns and separators. The scope may include operating-data review, assessment of equipment condition, and recommendations for corrective action. The scope is agreed to suit the equipment, operating conditions, and project requirements.

Field services & installation supervision

We can provide installation supervision for new internals, revamps, and turnarounds. The scope may include pre-shutdown site inspections, manway clearance verification, and on-site supervision of installation in accordance with approved drawings. The scope is agreed to suit the equipment, site conditions, and project requirements.
