From project definition to delivery
Engineering intent and design approach
Engineering of Mini Refineries concentrates on feed assay, product slate, fractionation scheme, heat integration, utility balance, modular battery limits, operability and phased capacity expansion. The selected configuration is verified against normal, minimum, start-up, shutdown and credible upset cases, then checked for operability, maintainability, energy use, process safety and site interfaces before the design is frozen.
Rated capacity, minimum stable load, feed envelope, inlet and outlet conditions, product specification, start-up and shutdown cases, design life and acceptance criteria are agreed before equipment definition is frozen. The review also records utility margins, interfaces, inspection hold points, maintainability constraints and the evidence required for a controlled handover.
