Regeneration of the fine catalyst bed associated with the RCCU resulted in some of the finer catalyst particles being entrained in flue gas flow. This project was implemented to limit emission of the catalyst particles. Optional technologies including high efficiency cyclone separators, electrostatic precipitators, wet scrubbers and high temperature filtration were investigated.
The latter technology was selected to replace the final stage of the existing cyclone separation system.
Shedden Uhde were engaged to prepare the Basic Design Engineering Package including:
Preliminary design of the support structure, layout of the equipment, preliminary 3D CAD modelling of the filter, associated pipework and steelwork, design specifications for the ancillary equipment, construction methodology approach, capital cost estimate and implementation plans for the project.
The modification is planned to take place during a shutdown of the RCCU in May 2007.
