Comprehensive Engineering Services
TEHPA offers a comprehensive range of engineering services tailored to meet the needs of refineries, especially in situations where there is a shortage of human resources or experienced engineers. Our process engineering services cover everything from catalyst selection, loading, unloading, and regeneration management to the start-up of catalytic units. We also handle routine checks for operational issues, assess thermal and hydraulic limitations, and provide advice on optimizing equipment such as preheating trains, pumps, compressors, and platforming reactors.
Our expertise extends to the performance evaluation of gas turbines and boilers, as well as cooling water system control. TEHPA can deliver these services on a case-by-case basis or through long-term contracts. Additionally, we provide training for engineers and refinery operators to ensure smooth operations.
Flare Gas Recovery
TEHPA provides an innovative Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) service designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas refineries. Unlike traditional FGR methods that often require expensive new equipment and complex designs, our solution is highly efficient and cost-effective. By utilizing surplus energy, TEHPA’s approach maximizes flare gas recovery, helping refineries lower their environmental impact while capturing valuable gases that would otherwise be wasted. This service not only benefits the environment by reducing harmful emissions but also delivers economic value through the recovery and reuse of lost gases, making it a smart choice for sustainable refinery operations.
LPG Recovery
TEHPA offers an advanced LPG recovery service that efficiently captures LPG from off-gases, particularly those produced by platformer units in refineries. Using the oil absorption process, LPG is absorbed in kerosene under low temperature conditions, allowing for the recovery of valuable C1-C5 components found in crude oil. Our recovery solutions are tailored to the specific design, age, and operational circumstances of each refinery, ensuring an optimal fit for every client. In some cases, TEHPA integrates LPG recovery with other heat recovery projects, utilizing surplus energy to drive the process and further enhance efficiency. This approach provides both environmental and economic benefits.
Hydrogen Management
TEHPA offers comprehensive hydrogen management services to help refineries optimize hydrogen usage, a critical factor in reducing sulfur content in diesel fuel. As global demand for diesel increases and sulfur regulations tighten, refineries are under pressure to improve hydrogen efficiency. Hydrogen is typically produced through steam-methane reforming, a high-cost process using natural gas. Effective hydrogen management is essential to refinery profitability and long-term viability.
Our service begins with a thorough review of refinery units, identifying opportunities to enhance hydrogen utilization based on the refinery’s complexity, design, and operational conditions. TEHPA’s tailored solutions improve hydrogen efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with strict fuel specifications. By implementing these improvements, refineries can achieve better performance and profitability while meeting evolving industry standards.
Steam Management
TEHPA’s Steam Management service is designed to optimize the use of steam across refinery processes, including fractionating towers, steam-cracking, and steam reforming. Steam plays a crucial role in providing thermal energy for various refinery operations, but its efficiency can be compromised by inadequate maintenance and system inefficiencies. With many refineries, especially older ones, facing issues of steam wastage and reduced in-house expertise, effective steam management becomes vital.
Our service focuses on assessing and enhancing steam system integrity, addressing issues related to steam waste, condensate circuits, and water consumption. By investigating and improving steam management practices, TEHPA helps refineries reduce energy consumption, increase reliability, and boost profitability. Our solutions ensure that steam systems operate at peak efficiency, supporting both sustainability and operational excellence.
Water Management
TEHPA’s Water Management service addresses the critical challenge of water scarcity faced by oil refineries, particularly in drought-affected regions. As refineries expand and environmental regulations become stricter, there is a growing need for sustainable water management practices.
Our innovative solutions are designed to optimize water usage in oil and gas refineries, petrochemical facilities, and the steel industry. By improving water management, we help refineries reduce their raw water consumption and minimize wastewater generation. This leads to lower operational and maintenance costs for wastewater treatment, as well as decreased contaminant loads in treated effluent. Enhanced water management not only improves the quality of wastewater discharge but also supports environmental sustainability by reducing the overall environmental impact of refinery operations.
