High-Level Scope

Replacement of an existing stripping vessel with a new technologically advanced heat exchanger vessel.  The scope of the project also included modifications to the unit’s relief system that encompassed replacing the existing relief header, various process safety valve replacements as well as the installation of a new relief drum and pumps.  Both scope items required extensive infrastructure modifications, upgrades and installations (civil, structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, controls, etc.).
