Optimized Energy and Temperature Control Solutions for Petrochemical Processes

Temporary industrial solutions for contractors working on petrochemical plants or refineries projects

Stay on schedule, ensure compliance, and optimize costs with Aggreko’s nationwide service and expert support for contractors.

Petrochemical processes are notably sensitive to variations in temperature and humidity. Contractors bear the responsibility for managing projects to ensure optimal chemical reactions, maintain reaction rates, and uphold process efficiency, whether in retrofitting or parallel projects.

You’re not only complying with strict safety, environmental, and operational protocols. You’re also at-risk for deviations in temperatures which can lead to incomplete reactions or the creation of undesirable byproducts. Similarly, controlling humidity is vital, as moisture can react with chemicals, potentially leading to hazardous conditions or diminishing the purity of the final product.

Industrial equipment solutions for any PCR project

  • Stay powered on and keep temperatures under control whether you’re installing or maintaining Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units or reactors for hydrocracking processes. Our temporary HVAC and energy generation solutions, from diesel generators to electrical distribution, are modular and scalable to adjust to your needs during these crucial operations.
  • Remove moisture efficiently during coating and painting, heat exchanger, or cooling tower installation projects. Whether on a tank farm, in a vessel, or in a distillation tower, our HVAC solutions are modular and scalable to ensure proper drying and application, including dehumidifiers, CW chillers, and air handling units.
  • Quality Control: The quality of petrochemical products critically depends on the environmental conditions during production and is jeopardized during temporary rehabilitation measures. With our support, you will be controlling temperature and humidity during your operations while ensuring product requirements remain consistent and within specified tolerances, which is essential for downstream applications.
  • Ensure safe and efficient maintenance during turnarounds with OFA compressors to remove harmful contaminants from the air that could be hazardous to health. In addition, our reliable dehumidification and heating solutions prevent corrosion and condensation in high-humidity environments to keep workers safe from slippages and sustain equipment operations.
  • Multiple options to cover your needs. Our temporary HVAC and energy generation solutions are highly adaptable – whether you’re constructing and maintaining Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) in a PCR facility, performing rehabilitation works on delayed coking projects, or carrying out rehabilitation and retrofitting projects in wastewater treatment facilities.
  • Gear up for capital project expansions with load banks, ideal for testing loads of all sizes, voltages, and capacities during new plant construction, substation upgrades, or during installation of complex piping networks for a refinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

aggreko contractor services industrial solutions and equipment rental

The petrochemical sector is subject to stringent environmental and safety regulations. Adhering to the required temperature and humidity levels is often mandated by these regulations to ensure safe operations and minimize environmental impact.

Petrochemical facilities contend with corrosive materials and conditions. High humidity levels during a contractor's work can hasten the corrosion of metal parts and infrastructure, resulting in equipment degradation, failures, and expensive downtime for repairs and replacements. Proper humidity management extends the lifespan of equipment and safeguards the structural integrity of the plant infrastructure during the course of these projects.

Also, petrochemical plants are volatile and sensitive to temperature and humidity, releasing vapors that must be managed carefully. During the rehabilitation of storage and handling areas, it is crucial for contractors to control the environment meticulously to reduce evaporation losses and ensure the safe storage and handling of these substances.

Providing temporary equipment and solutions for over 50 years, Aggreko has decades of expertise helping contractors across a wide range of sectors – from PCR and oil and gas to construction, food and beverage, events, and everything in between. However, Aggreko Contractor Services specifically offers its technical expertise in providing modular utilities tailored to meet the challenges of the petrochemical and refining sector.
