Ebortec has considerable experience in upgrading existing plants and offers designs for improvements in: - Operating efficiency / heat recovery - Automation - Environmental control Examples of plant upgrade projects are: Case 1: Upgrading batch deodorising vessel into a semi-continuous deodorising system. In a number of stages, electric heaters, a feed tank and a drop tank equipped with a heat recovery coil were added resulting in a more efficient semi-continuous plant capable of operating at higher temperature and three times the throughput of the original batch plant. Case 2: Upgrading of loop hydrogenation plant. A feed tank and drop tank along with a spiral heat exchanger were introduced to convert a single vessel system into a fully automated, highly efficient three vessel system with greatly increased throughput. Case 3: Upgrading of semi-continuous bleaching plant. Original filters were replaced with larger units and an acid treatment section introduced to increase the plant capacity and facilitate processing of new feedstocks. Case 4: Upgrading storage facilities by the addition of nitrogen blanketing. Nitrogen blanketing equipment has been supplied to clients to convert existing atmospheric storage tanks into nitrogen blanketed storage tanks. |
