Project: Summer demand on gasoline production limits large refinery at peak capacity
Solution: Carrier Rental Systems' (CRS) engineers temporary system that enables the refinery to increase production from 50,000 bbl per day to 55,000 bbl per day. The additional cooling nets CRS's customer between $10,000 - $20,000 per day.
Application: CRS provided chilled water to existing exchangers and also, provided a CRS exchanger to cool reflux (gasoline). The system cooled the gasoline from 95 to 65 degrees F and cooled the tower water from 95 to 45 degrees F. Due to the hazardous environment, the refinery used CRS's fleet of Class I, Div II, Group C & D chillers, towers, exchanger and pumps. Additionally, CRS modified the chillers with a pressurization system to create a complete self contained environment. The amount of job space was another major consideration to the project. CRS was able to deal with this limitation by stacking its containerized water chillers. The stacked chillers create a smaller footprint than conventional industry chillers.
CRS's ability to design and create unique engineered solutions give our customers the ability to not only be more efficient, but create new, profitable projects. Below are sample pictures of the system.
