Understanding the urgency and complexity of the situation, Aggreko collaborated closely with the export facility to design and implement a tailored, multi-year debottlenecking application for their propane export system. The ambitious goal was to boost the facility's export capacity before the capital project's completion.
Aggreko process services engineered a comprehensive temperature control system to cool 288,000 barrels per day (BPD) of propane (98% LV C3, 2% C2) from 95°F to 65°F upstream of the refrigeration compressor at a pressure of 400 psig.
Aggreko delivered, installed, and commissioned a comprehensive temperature control system to achieve this target. This solution incorporated a range of advanced temperature control equipment, including mobile cooling towers, water-cooled chillers, heat exchangers, pumps, and expansion vessels.
In addition to the temperature control system, Aggreko delivered a fully engineered electrical solution. This included transformers, stand-alone breakers, complex distribution panels, and extensive cabling seamlessly integrated with the facility's existing energy infrastructure. The system was meticulously designed to operate within a compact footprint, minimize pressure drops, and adhere to the stringent safety requirements of an electrically classified area.
