Case Study: Refinery Drastically Reduced Steam Loss, Maintenance, and Component Spend

Customer

Petroleum refinery 

Challenge

“How do we conduct steam tracing processes safely and effectively, while staying on budget?”  Steam tracing of process piping carried out as part of plant winterization efforts was consuming a considerable amount of time and money, yet it yielded mediocre results and created safety and process issues in portions of the plant.

Need

A winterization plan that was safer, more reliable, and less resource-intensive. They also needed data to justify the new plan.

Solution

  • Swagelok field engineers conducted an evaluation of the steam tracing system and winterization efforts
  • The energy coordinator was provided with a detailed report outlining how to achieve his goals, as well as a plan for eliminating costly steam losses and related risks

Result

  • The report identified $700,000 in steam loss per year
  • The evaluation also identified more than $500,000 of recurring annual component spend that could be avoided through system improvements
  • Implementation of the plan saved an estimated 100 hours of maintenance time per year, while improving safety and process reliability
