Reducing the Delta T between ROT and HIT with Tube Tech International
A successful clean is one that restores heat transfer to clean conditions and creates a pressure drop.
Ideally clients need to have before and after data for heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in order to compare the services of Tube Tech with those of local traditional cleaning contractors.
The benefits of a successful clean are a conversion of the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop to energy savings and flow rate increase. Benefits need to be measured in terms of the whole crude preheat train as opposed to just the single exchanger.
Measurement of the heat duty and crude throughput before and after cleaning provides clients with accurate data on the cost and environmental savings made by using Tube Tech International's specialist cleaning services.
Very rarely do refinery engineers accurately record cleaning activities, ROT HIT values, and heat transfer co-efficient data i.e new operational performance data, performance data prior to cleaning and performance data after cleaning. This information is rarely if ever shared with the contractor or indeed the plant engineers, yet is crucial to motivate contractors and plant personnel alike to deliver best practice.
Within their detailed contract questionnaire Tube Tech International request information about the units to be cleaned but also ask for detailed performance information. The reason for the comprehensive questionnaire is to ensure that refinery operators are able to record the increase in performance that a TRUE conscientious specialist cleaning service will provide.
