EPI Engineering significantly increases FCCU production at a Refinery in Texas through a detailed Cooling Water Hydraulic Modeling and Optimization Service. New exchangers were analyzed on a detailed system wide level and FCCU production was significantly increased leading to increase production of at least 2 million per year with the possibilities of over 10 million in increase production. Our client realized a 40:1 ROI with this project.

EPI Engineering has achieved an $8 million annual energy savings for a local petrochemical plants after EPI conducted a plant wide, utility hydraulic modeling and optimization service. The majority of the savings were identified in the steam and cooling water systems. Steam leaks and unrecovered condensate were the contributing factor to the steam savings. The cooling water systems were being over pressurized by running to many pumps to over compensate for heat exchanger plugging.
