Design of a new refinery

Refineries are generally designed by a design institute. The design of atmospheric and vacuum distillation units is the strongest strength of the Design Institute of Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Company.

It depends on your scale; it’s also possible to work with different design institutes

The design quality of a design institute has a direct impact on energy consumption and efficiency; therefore, thorough research should be conducted when selecting one, and decisions should not be made on emotional grounds. The emergence of a catalyst and a process determines the energy consumption of the facility, which directly affects efficiency; issues such as operational difficulty also need to be taken into consideration. It is recommended to conduct research on devices of the same scale; ideally, make a choice after comparing different design institutes, so as to avoid regret.

For small-scale projects, a smaller design firm will suffice, as their fees are lower; however, it’s better to have someone with extensive design experience, as that ensures better results. That’s exactly the situation in our company; if the original poster is interested, we can talk about it.

Generally, a design institute is hired, but it is recommended to separate the foundation design from the detailed design. The selection of process technologies for the main equipment requires evaluation and screening, with a third company hired to oversee the technical evaluation and screening process.

The last design was done by a design institute that facilitates overall consideration; for vacuum and reduced-pressure deep drawing, it’s obviously the Luoyang Institute, which has become very popular recently

It’s better to use one from a good company; Luoyang has excellent options, with strengths in all aspects

The overall strength of the Beijing Institute is greater than that of the Luoyang Institute, but it would be best to have both institutes handle the design. This post was last edited by Clauspolunit on 2009-2-5 16:00]

Which companies’ atmospheric and vacuum distillation projects has the Luoyang Office designed?

Our company uses the basic design from Luoyang Institute

It is recommended to assign it to large design institutes, while individual installations can be assigned to smaller or medium-sized design institutes.

If the project is large-scale, for example, in Dushanzi, multiple design institutes work together on its design – the main design institute being Global Design Institute, with other institutions such as those listed under \"Prohibited content; please delete\", Luoyang Institute, Jihua Institute, and Qilu Institute also participating in the design process!

For atmospheric and vacuum distillation, the Beijing Research Institute is the best; for catalytic coaxial processes, the Luoyang Research Institute is the pioneer； When ranked side by side, the Beijing Institute is considered the best. . . Hydrogenation technology should be led by the Fuyan Research Institute ； The Institute of Rock Mechanics is tied. . . Hydrogen production, especially via PSA, is carried out at West China Hospital in Chengdu. . . The chemical engineering design institutes involved in hydrogen production conversion can handle this task, especially those in the fertilizer industry. . . :lol

It depends on the scale of the refinery; for larger ones, the overall design is entrusted to one design institute, while individual units can be assigned to several different design institutes depending on their specific characteristics (after all, there are specialized areas of expertise). Among domestic refinery design institutes, Beijing Institute and Luoyang Institute are the most prominent.

It is best if it is designed by a design institute, as this ensures overall consistency which helps to save costs, and it should be a large design institute. Some design institutes have never designed plants with a capacity of millions of tons; it’s impossible for them to handle such projects. Our plant was designed in Luoyang. I remember there was one plant whose design was carried out by a smaller design institute – I won’t mention its name – and since they had no experience in designing plants of that scale, there were many unreasonable aspects in their design

One institute is good; the Luoyang Institute is the best, leading in catalytic cracking. Overall optimization is also done best.

A company usually entrusts a design institute with the design work, and for atmospheric-pressure and catalytic units, Luoyang Institute holds considerable authority!

I think it’s better to leave it to the Luoyang Institute to take care of it overall. . . :Lol as for the atmospheric and vacuum distillation design, any engineering firm can handle it these days. . . It was initially the Beijing Institute that worked on cows. . . In terms of catalysis, there is the coaxial design used by the Luoyang Institute, the vertical and horizontal arrangement used by the Beijing Institute, and now there is also the two-stage riser design from the Petroleum University. . . Any institute can handle coking. . . For hydrogenation, Fuyan Institute and Beijing Institute are the best. . . Hydrogen production can be carried out by any chemical engineering design institute, as it utilizes technologies from the fertilizer industry (inorganic chemistry). . . PSA takes West China Hospital in Chengdu as its model. . . The rest can be handled according to your needs as well as the plans and recommendations of the main institution. . .
