Upgrading Existing Plant
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.
