Revamp of Gas Processing Plant in Middle East
In 2018, Kelvion completed an airside revamp of an Overhead Condenser (OVHD) in a Gas Processing Plant in Middle East. The air-cooler has 10 induced fans, and the process is mainly composed of Methane (85%) and Propane (5%).
The OVHD Condenser was facing cooling capacity issues due to high ambient temperatures (52.0°C in summer) that were far above the original design (46.0°C). The process flow rate was limited to 367.2 t/h @ 49.5°C to ensure the outlet process temperature would still be below 62.5°C. The actual performance was measured and the following steps were taken to improve it.
Kelvion completed the installation and upgrade of the Propane Condenser with the following parts:
â–º New fan shaft with top and bottom bearings,
â–º New fans
