Piping and equipment drying at petrochemical sites

OBJECTIVES

Remove water in liquid or vapor form before commissioning pipelines or equipment and protect against corrosion.


CLIENT REQUEST

Ensure complete drying of a pipeline or equipment (column, exchanger, shell, tube bundle, vessel, etc.) after a regulatory pressure test or water cleaning. The equipment concerned includes gas pipelines and pressurized installations at petrochemical sites, where the process is incompatible with the presence of water.

The proposed solution includes:

    • A feasibility study.
    • High and low pressure dry air drying units.
    • Measurement equipment for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and flow rate.

CHALLENGE

Achieving targets specified by the process and client requirements:

    • Drying down to a dew point below -60°C.
    • Maintaining anti-corrosion conditions with relative humidity below 50%.
