Moscow, December 11 - IA Neftegaz.RU . The construction of a modern, closed-type high-temperature gas utilization system for the Euro + combined oil refining installation at the Moscow Refinery has been completed .
This was reported by the press service of Gazpromneft-MNPZ.
The technology allows you to safely, reliably and environmentally friendly to eliminate excess process gas in case of its occurrence.
The newest Euro + complex is a key project for the 2nd stage of modernization of the Moscow Refinery, which since 2011 has been continued by Gazprom Neft.
The optimization of the production processes of the Euro + complex allows all process gases to be involved in production, and the recycling system is turned on only when necessary - when switching installations, taking them to repair, and preventing
The recycling process takes place in a closed, protected refractory chamber.
Modern technologies guarantee the supply of large volumes of air and ensure complete combustion of all components with zero exposure to the atmosphere.
The 42 m high construction is equipped with 128 burners - it completely eliminates open burning and a thermal loop, allowing for a low noise level and no odor.
For the management of the complex is responsible reliable automated process control system installation "Euro +".
The sensors continuously measure the pressure in the system; when a signal arrives, the required number of burners is switched on, which quickly and safely dispose of the gas.
The new complex is able to safely dispose of up to 260 tons of gas / hour
The recycling system is an important part of the technological chain of the Moscow Oil Refinery , which allows to get rid of excess gases in a regular mode, preventing them from entering the atmosphere.
In the course of modernization, the Moscow Oil Refinery constantly increases the efficiency of production processes, due to which the total operating time of this system was reduced from forty to 5 days a year.
Expert Comments:
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Shirokov , Professor, Deputy Head of the Department of Industrial Ecology of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after I.M. Gubkina, Ph.D.:
“Flare systems of the closed type have a number of advantages in comparison with open installations. This is, first of all, the ability to dispose of waste gases with greater combustion efficiency and without the threat of stalling and extinguishing the flame under strong wind loads. Burning in them is carried out in a closed volume lined with refractory material using special burners. The cost accordingly increases significantly, but for the environment it is a significant plus. ”
Yevgeny Khanin , Head of the Department of the Agency for Industrial Risk Studies autonomous non-profit organization:
“The advantages of closed type flare units include the possibility of sending discharges into the system with different pressure parameters (high and low pressure systems), the ability to service flare elements (pilot and main burners) without stopping the flare system, as well as reducing noise and reducing thermal load on adjacent equipment during the disposal of technological and emergency discharges.
Recently, closed-type flare units are often used at oil and gas processing and chemical facilities, especially in a limited area - it is logical that the Moscow Refinery chose this option. ”
Ovcharov Sergey Nikolayevich , Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Oil Refining Technology and Industrial Ecology of the North Caucasus Federal University:
“The combined Euro + unit will significantly increase the production of motor fuel components at the Moscow refinery that meet modern environmental requirements. The presence of an isodewaxing unit as part of the hydrotreating process complex will ensure the production of low-clogging diesel fuel that is in demand in winter. Since the combined installation is a complex of five new installations, it has a higher performance per feedstock. Of course, the commissioning of a high-performance combined unit will be a “step forward” not only for the Moscow refinery, but also for the industry as a whole. ”
Elena Alexandrovna Chernysheva , Ph.D., Professor, Deputy Head of the Department of Oil Refining Technology for Academic Affairs , Gorky State University THEM. Gubkina:
“The combined Euro + unit is certainly a modern, updated version of combined plants, designed on the basis of new technologies using energy-efficient technical solutions, and is definitely a new word in the modernization of domestic oil refining. At "Euro +", it is supposed to use only natural gas as a fuel, and also provides for the implementation of special technical solutions to reduce emissions and prevent emergencies. All this will reduce the impact on the environment by at least 10-12% per one ton of processed raw materials, which is a positive trend for any refinery, and especially for oil refineries and petrochemical enterprises located in cities and resort areas
Nadezhda Samarina , Head of Public Relations, Uralhimmash:
“For PJSC Uralhimmash, participation in such projects as manufacturing and supplying equipment for the Moscow refinery Gazprom Neft is very significant. Work on the manufacture of such equipment is an important indicator of enterprise competitiveness. Participation in such projects gives impetus to the development of technological thought at manufacturers, working with new materials, the development of new technologies.
Only leading manufacturers with sufficient technological capabilities to manufacture such equipment are attracted to supply equipment for the modernization of the Moscow refinery. Getting in their number is proof of the status of a reliable manufacturer. Russian enterprises have shown that they can successfully compete with Western manufacturers, they also successfully work with new, modern alloys and master the latest technologies. ” |
