Pipeline and equipment drying at a petrochemical site

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, bundle, tank, etc.) after a regulatory test or water cleaning. The affected equipment includes gas pipelines and pressure installations on petrochemical sites, where the process is incompatible with the presence of water.

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%.

TIBBLOC SOLUTION


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.
