 Chennai:
ABB
Lummus Global has been selected by Indian Oil Corporation
Limited to replace an existing feed effluent heat exchanger
in the catalytic reforming unit at its refinery in Mathura,
India. An immediate replacement is necessary in order
to maintain quality of products in the catalytic reforming
unit built approximately five years ago by a third party.
The
helitower heat exchanger is said to be a robust, economical
and longer lasting alternative to the existing welded
plate heat exchanger (WPHE) equipment. A tower with
helical baffles provides advantages over the conventional
tower, which include a reduction in size and surface
area, meeting process parameters, and the ability to
be installed on the existing structure. A similar installation
has been in operation at the Bongaigon refinery for
the last 17 years.
The
equipment will be fabricated by ABB Lummus Global''s
licensee, Larsen & Toubro Limited.
