A Midwest refinery was implementing a reliability program, when, during a scheduled inspection on a critical unit, a deficiency was found under several of the main load-bearing beams supporting critical equipment. This was an emergency. Repairing a Load-bearing...
A refinery approached the Brindley Team to perform a steam trap reliability study in order to understand what was causing the high failure rate of the expensive traps. Improving the Performance and Reliability of Steam Traps BE the SolutionWe gathered data from...
A refinery approached BE’s fire protection engineering team to improve and manage its fireproofing protection, maintenance, and repair program—and fast. Considerable amounts of concrete were spalling, creating significant safety concerns as the concrete would fall...
During a Client’s Pre-Turnaround planning activities on a Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit, historical trends indicated that there would be scope for refractory and nozzle repairs on the Regenerator air grid. Anticipating the volume of repairs and operation of the...
A Client of Brindley needed to replace their coke drums and conduct repairs and modifications to the reinforced concrete coke drum support structure. The scale of the outage was significant and minimizing the time and effort required was paramount to operational...
A refinery came to the Brindley Engineering team to determine a solution for modifying five existing flare systems without having to remove the entire flare. Innovative load transfer system to modify flares BE the solutionFirst, the team analyzed the derrick...
This project took us to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to a plant that recycles, and compresses gas generated from oil extraction in the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field. The metal deck and concrete floors of this modular plant were quickly deteriorating, allowing water to penetrate...
