A Midwest refinery client was replacing sections of sour water collection piping as part of an ongoing piping replacement project and had decided to upsize a section of the collection header to improve flow. This decision was based on the observation that some...
A Midwest refinery was concerned with Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) related to working platforms and attachments on pressure vessels and contacted Brindley Engineering to conduct inspection and engineering of these items. We found deteriorated fireproofing...
Brindley Engineering was requested to create a temporary piping solution near a complex series of pumps in order to keep a reactivated sludge (RAS) line in operation while piping for the line was replaced due to end of life conditions. Temporary Piping Solution...
This project was to improve the reliability of level measurements in an oil/sour water separator at a Midwest refinery. More accurate and stable level measurement would prevent high and low level alarms and trips from occurring as well as having better level...
This project was to improve the reliability of a compressor lube oil low pressure trip at a Midwest refinery. Compressor had legacy 1oo1 low oil pressure switch as the trip sensor. Better and more reliable oil pressure measurement would prevent spurious low oil...
