McDermott International announced that it has been awarded a technology contract by Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) for the modernization of its existing Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit to be implemented at their refinery in Pancevo, Serbia.

As part of this project, McDermott’s Lummus Technology will provide the license and basic engineering for the Indmax FCC technology and a grassroots CDEtbe unit for production of bio ethanol base Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE). The state-of-the-art Indmax FCC technology, which was jointly developed by Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) and Lummus, will shift the yield of the existing FCC unit toward production of valuable olefins and higher-octane naphtha. Part of the olefins will be converted with bio-ethanol to ETBE using Lummus’ CDEtbe technology, which is used as a clean, octane-boosting gasoline-blending component.

“We are extremely pleased that NIS has again selected Lummus Technology to upgrade their refinery,” said Leon de Bruyn, Senior Vice President of Lummus Technology. “This award represents the first license of the Indmax FCC technology in Europe, demonstrating the increasing interest in Indmax FCC globally. It also demonstrates our ability to supply integrated and optimized solutions to our clients from our broad portfolio of technologies. NIS will benefit from the added process flexibility and improved economics for many years to come.”

Previously, NIS has also selected the hydrocracking technology from Lummus Technology’s joint venture, Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), as well as, more recently, Lummus Technology’s delayed coking technology.

McDermott’s Lummus Technology is a leading licensor of proprietary petrochemicals, refining, gasification and gas processing technologies, and a supplier of proprietary catalysts and related engineering. With a heritage spanning more than 100 years, encompassing approximately 3,400 patents and patent applications, Lummus Technology provides one of the industry’s most diversified technology portfolios to the hydrocarbon processing sector.

General introduction of Manual Valves

The manual valves are control component in the pipeline fluid delivery system. They are used to change the passage section and the flow direction of the medium and have the functions of diversion, cutoff, regulation, throttling, check, diversion, or overflow relief. Manual valves are divided into four groups according to the way the closure member moves onto the seat. Each valve group consists of a number of distinct types of valves that, in turn, are made in numerous variations. • Stopper type closure—globe, needle • Vertical slide—gate • Rotary type—ball, plug, butterfly • Flexible body—diaphragm The way the closure member moves onto the seat gives a particular group or type of valve a typical flow-control characteristic. This flow control characteristic has been used to establish a preliminary chart for the selection ...
The importance of valve selection

Valve selection is based on function, material suitability, design pressure/temperature extremities, plant life, end connections, operation, weight, availability, maintenance, and cost. If the valve does not meet the design criteria, then even if it is free, it is still too expensive, because of the costs to replace it when it fails. Just like life, valve selection is a series of compromises. Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. This duty may involve stopping and starting flow, controlling the flow rate, diverting flow, preventing backflow, controlling pressure, or relieving pressure. These duties are performed by adjusting the position of the closure member in the valve. This may be done either manually or automatically. The manual operation also includes the operation of the valve ...
Something About TAT Shell Valve MESC Group

What is Type acceptance test (TAT)? It is not uncommon for certain applications that a new type of valve will have to be developed to meet the end user’s needs. Most end users have the highest technical demands on valves they are aiming to use in an assembly. Needless to say these ‘prototypes’ will undergo extensive testing to verify the reliability, safety, etc. TAT (Shell MESC SPE 77/300) is one of the internationally recognized certification to ensure the quality of the valves. TAT is done as per ‘Shell’ specification 77-300 in which the valve is subjected to seat test, fugitive emission test, and torque test under pressure, during and after mechanical and thermal cycling. The qualification range is mentioned in spec 77/300B.It is testing that is done on a product to confirm the design is good. It is a prod...
