Replacement of the internals of the vapour compressor separator serving the propane–propylene column

Customer request:
The project required replacement of the internals of the vapour compressor separator serving the propane–propylene column.
Spliteks solution:
  • Pre-design inspection of the propane-propylene column section and identification of the causes of reduced separation efficiency
  • Design and engineering of new internals
  • Manufacturing of separator internals and a mist eliminator for the column in Serpukhov
Result
Delivery of the finished product on schedule and confirmation of equipment performance at the customer’s facility dated 19.02.25. Reduced losses of saleable propylene and reduced mechanical wear of the compressor due to increased separation efficiency
