An Alfa Laval condenser and reboiler is saving space at the Syzran oil refinery
Alfa Laval Compabloc condensers and reboilers take up very little space, so they were a natural contender when a new stripper tower was required for the gas sweetening process at the Syzran oil refinery.
DATE 2023-11-28Inspection and cleaning are seldom required, but these tasks are made easy due to the minimal space requirements. Downtime is thus significantly reduced, compared with shell-and-tube units.
The Alfa Laval Compabloc reboilers have been in operation since January 2002, and the general consensus of opinion at the Syzran refinery is that the Compabloc units work extremely well.
