OPTIMIZE YOUR ProcessES

TO CONTROL CONTAMINATION

Process Optimization

Refining, gas processing and petrochemical operations are highly complex and integrated operations. Various issues, including changes in feed slates, power outages and unit shutdowns, can cause process upsets and contamination.

Contamination can grow from small disturbances to large disruptions felt throughout an interconnected operation. As contaminants propagate, they grow and create operating challenges, resulting in increased energy costs, operating costs and environmental impact. 

Solutions and Results

Transcend has developed a balanced systems approach to refinery operations that is designed to reduce disruptions by eliminating the contaminants that fuel the process upset.

Reactor and Catalyst Bed Optimization

Catalyst beds, found throughout the hydrocarbon processing industry, can reach end of run prematurely due to contaminants that create pressure drop or reduce catalyst activity. These systems can be improved once the critical contaminants are identified.

Solutions and Results

Extending catalyst bed life increases overall profitability by improving uptime, reducing catalyst replacement cost and aligning shut-downs to plant-wide maintenance schedules.


Mass Transfer Optimization

Operations such as absorption, extraction and distillation utilize trays and packing to facilitate mass transfer and separations. Fouling of tower internals can create increased pressure drop, reduced throughput and foaming within the column. Critical contaminants are system-specific and are often solids or liquids present in trace quantities in dimensions that preclude their separation using conventional methods

Solutions and Results

Reducing foulant or foamant ingression reduces overall operating costs and creates more stable systems.

Custody transfer operations

Custody transfer operations require attention to quality factors specified for fluid. Solid and liquid contaminants can create “off-spec” products. Identifying systemic issues that generate or enable such contamination, along with robust technologies that mitigate these contaminants, are essential for incident-free custody transfer. 

Solutions and Results

Custody transfer is the point at which a company derives revenue, so uptime is invaluable.


Heat transfer optimization

Heat exchangers require high surface area and small channels to maximize heat transfer efficiency, making them highly susceptible to contamination. Poor contamination control can create fouling that reduces heat transfer efficiency, resulting in considerable energy costs thanks to increased pressure drop and reduced heat transfer. 

Solutions and Results

Improved contamination removal can positively impact operating economics.

Chemical Processing optimization

Chemical synthesis often involves catalysis and process aids, resulting in the need to remove these compounds before the product can be packaged. Chemicals are produced in batch and continuous operations, so achieving finished product quality and speed of packaging is critical.

Solutions and Results

Effective removal of contaminants and using high efficiency separation technology can reduce processing times, increase process equipment utilization and increase throughput and profitability.
