Meeting Additional Plant Capacity Requirements Without Adding Additional Vessels

Todayâ??s gas plants require systems optimization to produce and deliver predictable - profitable products, longer predictable drying cycles, increased molecular sieve bed life and bed performance. These are not off-the-shelf solutions and require robust engineered solutions that are performance driven, industry proven and readily available for demanding plant outage requirements while providing immediate return on investments.

Woven Metal Products case study from a recent installation of its Patent Pending Outlet Support Grid (OSG) system will fully explore the challenges presented to the plant including:

• Assessment of the original installed equipment
• Operational limitations with the original installed equipment
• Bed configuration limitations with the original installed equipment
• Safety issues encountered with the original installed equipment
• Pre and Post installation data examination
• Timeline for executing the project installation during a critical outage
• Process improvements realized with the OSG
• Partner resources utilized during the project

Evaluation areas will include (but are not limited to):

• Maximum vessel volume available
• Mole sieve
• Complete bed containment
• Full bed utilization
• rP requirements for proper bed operation
• Current bed support examination and the available options
• Valve life / rebuild cycle
• Gas / Dew point control
• Making it all work together
