| dc.description.abstract | Metallurgy upgrades for high TAN crudes and existing NPSH problems required the installation of two (2) new Atmospheric Towers and two (2) new Vacuum Tower Bottoms Pumps. • The new pumps are 450 HP and 1800 rpm versus the existing 3600 rpm and required a larger footprint. The new pumps were required to fit within the existing plot space. Pump, motor, and baseplate are 15,000 lb.• Due to the metallurgy upgrades requiring replacement of all suction and discharge piping, the Turnaround schedule did not allow for extensive excavation and installation of new concrete foundations.• An innovative approach was required to fit the new pumps into the existing plot plan and complete the installation within the Turnaround schedule. | |
