What does a Tracerco leak test do?

Tracerco has a long history of performing online and offline heat exchanger leak testing using chemicals, radioisotopes and helium tracers. A Tracerco Diagnostics™ Leak study provides real-time data on the exchanger, and eliminates the need for the equipment to be offline or the unit to be shutdown while searching for the leak. It also reduces maintenance costs, as it identifies the individual leaking exchanger in a ‘bank’ or group of exchangers, avoiding the need to perform ...

Why produce diesel from the vacuum unit?

Look ahead five years. The economy is likely to keep tightening and the rush to control pollution will inevitably be accompanied by demands for greater energy conservation. Consequence? A growing market for diesel which yields more energy per unit volume. Yet many continue to believe that producing diesel from the vacuum unit is poor design—that it should be produced only from the atmospheric column. Hence many refiners feed 20-30% diesel boiling range material to their ...

Xtend by XRG - A better technology for heat transfer

Fired Heater Fouling Costs Millions. A typical 100,000 barrel per day refinery loses $3-7 million annually because of fouling in fired heaters. Fouling overheats tubes, increases firing rate, reduces yields, and causes lost onstream days. Shutting down a crude, vacuum, or coker heater is extremely costly both in labor and throughput. To combat these issues, XRG Technologies developed Xtend - a tube-insert to reduce fouling and increase heat transfer. Xtend - A Better Technology ...
