Fast turnaround for a SRU tail gas scrubber

摘要

When a lubricants producer experienced a catastrophic failure of an existing SRU tail gas scrubber, it was faced with a very costly and possibly extended shutdown of its facility. Under pressure to meet permitted emissions regulations within six months of the incident, the company was offered a 72-week (18-month) replacement schedule from the original scrubber vendor. Working with MECS DynaWave, the producer was able to complete the project from start to finish in 18 weeks and at substantial cost savings. This article reviews the incident and lessons learned, presents the project timeline and actions that took place to be able to achieve the short turnaround as well as the cost savings realised, and reviews DynaWave technology and its application in SRU tail gas treatment.
