HCU Filter Backwash System Improvement

As part of AED's sustaining capital program support, AED's on-site and home office personnel designed an upgrade for a major refinery’s filter enhancement. The project consisted of a technical bid evaluation, procurement and detailed designs to increase the backwash capability supporting the refinery’s process of newly added filter improvements. Since the design utilized existing equipment, ASME calculations were provided to re-rate the pressure vessel and create pump specifications for its new service.
