The processed oil in Heglig Central Processing Facility (CPF) is exported to Sudan Port via 28” crude oil export pipeline supported by 6 pump stations as per Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company (GNPOC) export oil specifications (BS&W <=0.5%). Lately, the export oil BS&W was observed to exceed the specifications more frequently.<\/p>\n
An efficient method was sought to enhance the CPF processing efficiency keeping in consideration upgrading of CPF facilities including addition of more tanks. As per process design, un-separated emulsion in the Electro- Static Treaters (ESTs) should flow to the Off-Spec Tank, and then be recycled back to the ESTs for reprocessing. However, the process gets upsets whenever Off-Spec<\/p>\n
Tank contents are recycled to the ESTs. To overcome that, the Off-Spec Tank contents were spiked directly to Crude Oil Storage Tank (COST) after water draining.<\/p>\n
ECG scope included design of fixed roof Off-Spec Storage Oil Tank 10,000 BBL capacity with all needed attachments and accessories, sizing selection of an Off-Spec Oil spiking pumps, design of interconnecting piping from & to the Off-Spec Oil Tank \/ Off-Spec spiking pump including piping layout, stress analysis, pipe supports and isometrics, instrumentation & control of the system, design of fire protection system for the Off-Spec Storage Oil Tank and electrical designs for power, lighting, earthing, lightning & cathodic protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4169,"template":"","activity":[567,558,565,572,577,607,575,566],"country":[163,161],"scope":[669,637,671],"sector":[242,245],"yoast_head":"\n
