Four-year run lengths
Any element requiring manual change becomes a turnaround item. Automatic or duplex arrangement is the only viable path.
Process · Industry
High-temperature, high-throughput separation for crackers, reformers and polymer trains running four-year campaigns.
- Uninterrupted run length
- 4 yr
- Continuous operating temperature
- 340 °C
- Throughput lost to purge
- < 1%
The constraint
Continuous plants that cannot afford a filtration stop.
Petrochemical plants run continuously for years. Filtration cannot be a component the plant stops for, which makes automatic cleaning and duplex arrangement design requirements rather than upgrades.
Standards we work to
- ASME VIII Div. 2
- API 660
- ISO 12500
- ATEX / IECEx
- NACE MR0103
Coke and polymer fouling
Fouling species that adhere and cure demand mechanical cleaning; hydraulic backwash simply does not shift them.
High-temperature metallurgy
Creep, thermal cycling and differential expansion govern design well above what pressure alone would require.
Flare and emission limits
Purge streams must be recovered or routed within permitted limits, which shapes the system design from the outset.
