CNOOC Oil Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. – Huizhou Refinery PACKINOX Heat Exchanger – Xylene Isomerisation Unit Thermal Hydraulic Performances Analysis Main points associated recommendations : Unit Xylene Isomerisation Unit PKX ref. PE0625 Heat Exchanger E-701 Start-up date 14/06/2009 Years of operation 4.5 years PACKINOX Services visits 19/01/09 (Inspection before start up) Latest performances date /09/13 Thermal Performances (Hot Approach Temperature) Satisfactory HAT remains in rather same range than first operation year and related evolution is in line with what expected. Note : The slightly higher value than design recorded just after first start up is due to slightly different operation conditions (in particular lower gas flow rate). Hydraulic Performances (Feed Stream Pressure Drop) Satisfactory. DP remains in rather same range (50/60 Kpa) than first operation year. Latest available data seems quite in line with main driving forces (flow rates) Hydraulic Performances (Effluent Stream Pressure Drop) Satisfactory. HAT remain in rather same range (70 Kpa) than first operation year (spot data). Latest available data seems quite in line with main driving forces (flow rates) Thermal Hydraulic Mechanical Performances (Spray Bars Pressure Drop) Satisfactory. Values available only over last April 2010. Latest value (in the range of 140 kPa) are satisfactory. Mechanical performances (Shell Skin Temperature) No T5 values provided to PACKINOX. Recommendations (Installation + Instrumentation + Operating data) 1) Improve instrumentations as per PACKINOX recommendations (as per drawing next page) : DCS recorded measure for shell skin temperature T5. 2) Forward some information related to the process: typical treated feed as per Excel file here to attached. Recommendations (Operations + Maintenance + Inspection) As per general recommendations : Keep regular operating performances monitoring (daily continuous data shall be forwarded). Plan to
