Pollution Control in the World of Petrochemical Refineries ...

Pollution control is a passionate subject right now. Few industries are as keenly wary of the need to ?be green? than is the petrochemical industry. Any innovation in process that can assist to make oil refinement an even more environmentally clean process is sincerely desired. And, when it comes to environmental control systems, one of the most critical apparatuses to protecting the environment from refining waste is the combustion process. The combustion process that is most easily identified by anyone who has seen a refinery plant is the towering stack that emits a flare. That flare is burning off any undesirable chemical compounds. The flare and stack system is made up of various components that operate together to make the system highly proficient at preventing pollution, so the particulars of maintaining this system, and making sure the right mechanisms are being employed, is critical.

One of the priority elements for maintaining optimal cleanness and effectiveness of the flare stack is having regular inspections. The responsibility for field service work handling these inspections should be handed to a process equipment company firm that specializes in combustion equipment. The petrochemical plant staff should make the combustion equipment contractor fully knowledgeable of the ignition system required for their combustion processes, the fabrication and installation of their stacks, the type of flare tips used and the other flare tip components being employed.

The combustion system consultant should be fully briefed on any retractable system used, have an overall awareness about what parts may need to be in reserve by the combustion equipment company in the event of disaster, and then the combustion equipment expert may assess what online fixes are feasible if the combustion system should experience failure of any kind. With combustion systems, going offline can have an undesireable environmental consequence. Having the right contract crew, and ensuring they have comprehensive understanding of the flare and stack system, will ensure that the repair project will be done safely and correctly. It will produce effective refinery pollution control.

The most important innovation to the environmental improvements of the petrochemical industry is not advancements in engineering equipment, but increased perfection in the procedures and planning to address in advance an inevitable plant component failure.

Having a professional combustion process equipment company contractor in place, and prepared, protects the environment. It also keeps the industrial complex up and operating efficiently, being productive and ultimately protecting the chemical process company?s bottom line.
