Results of a Successful Risk Based Inspection Study: Oil Stabilizer Facility

March/April 2011 Inspectioneering Journal

Due to increasing market demands for stabilized crude, it is a high priority for oil handling and processing facilities to avoid production interruption. One optimization opportunity is to review our approach for scheduled facility Test and...

Pyrogel HPS is a high-performance insulation specifically engineered to withstand the rigors of temperature and cycling that occur in a delayed coker unit.

By minimizing heat loss on feedlines and drums to maintain optimum drum outlet temperatures, Pyrogel HPS supports maximum liquid yield and reduced maintenance costs. Pyrogel HPS also limits unwanted heat loss in overhead vapor lines, contributing to enhanced HCGO recovery and reduced recycle rates.

Pyrogel HPS high performance insulation supports:

Maximizing liquid yield
Optimizing recycle
Minimizing maintenance costs
Protecting assets from CUI
Increasing re-drum volume

Whether it's time to re-drum, re-insulate, or build a new unit, DCU operators can maximize their return on investment with Pyrogel HPS. Click here to learn more.
