40% Power Reduction in Hot Oil Network Operation
Challenge
A Jubail facility’s hot oil system was operating inefficiently due to high pump discharge pressure and CV pressure drops.
Solution
A hydraulic model was built in AFT Fathom to analyze and recommend right-sized flow elements and valves.
Outcome
- 2.1 MW → 1.22 MW pump power
- $314,000 in annual energy savings
ImpactX
Energy Optimization Saves $1M at Alabama Facility
Challenge
A large US facility with cyclic operations and low utility costs needed to improve thermal efficiency.
Solution
Ingenero conducted pinch analysis and feasibility studies across widely spread systems to identify energy-saving schemes.
Outcome
- 20+ schemes identified
- 1200# steam consumption reduced
- Over $1 million savings identified
Challenge
A cooling capacity limitation at a Qatar olefins site was stalling production and performance.
Solution
Ingenero modeled the sea water cooling network and identified EPC design flaws. The client upgraded HEXs based on the revised specs.
Outcome
- Cooling bottleneck resolved
- New plant ran at designed capacity
