Explosion Proof Cooling System for Refinery

Project.

Summer demand on gasoline production limits a large refinery at peak capacity.

Solution.

Carrier Rental Systems (CRS) engineered a temporary cooling system that enabling the refinery to increase production from 50,000 bbl to 55,000 bbl per day. The additional cooling netted CRS's customer between $10,000 - $20,000 per day.

Application.

CRS provided chilled water to the existing exchangers as well as a CRS exchanger to cool reflux (gasoline). This system cooled the gasoline from 95 to 65 degrees F and cooled the tower water from 95 to 45 degrees F. Because of the hazardous environment, the refinery used CRS's fleet of Class I, Div II, Group C & D chillers, towers, exchangers, and pumps. Additionally, CRS modified the chillers with a pressurization system, creating a complete, self-contained environment.

The amount of job space was another major consideration to the project. CRS was able to deal with this limitation by stacking its containerized water chillers. The stacked chillers create a smaller footprint than conventional industry chillers.

CRS's ability to design and create unique engineering solutions give our customers the ability not only to be more efficient, but to create new, profitable projects. Below are sample pictures of the project:
