The Challenge
Our challenge was to get the cryo gas plant in the pictures below to look like the one at the end of this document and all in as short of time as possible. Normal new cryo gas plant delivery would be over a year. This plant did not have a turbo compressor and the condition of the distillation tower, platefin exchanger or any of the piping was unknown at the time SCFM received it. Complete teardown was required prior to refurbishment start and no existing drawings were available but had to be recreated from scratch. Customer approval was required at every step. Received tower did not match the plant design.
The Solution
We determined that a coordinated approach was needed with several areas of expertise acting at the same time. Teardown and inspection was happening while process design and drawings were progressing. All of this was done while coordinating all changes and expenditures with our customer to ensure the changes met their approval. Plant design was modified to match the smaller received tower.
The Results
We were able to produce the following completed gas plant within the 24 week time frame. This included all new valving and instrumentation as well as all new updated control system.
