Project # 3 (PWR – 810/091-11) – Increase Capacity & Reliability of DU-8059/8060

Estimate Basis

Project Narative Summary

The purpose of this project is to increase the capacity and improve the reliability of the
Crude Unit Debutanizer Tops/Reflux Pumps DU-8059 and DU-8060. These identical
pumps operate one at a time and provide both the reflux and tops make for the
Debutanizer operation. Current capacity of each pump is approximately 4100 BPD.
However, with recent improvements in the Primary Tower operation, Crude rate has
increased. The Primary Tops make can now outpace the capacity of the Crude Unit
Debutanizer resulting in the unwanted diversion of some of the Primary Tops to the
Coker Debutanizer at high Crude rates. To completely eliminate this diversion of
Primary Tops to the Coker requires a total capacity of the Debutanizer Tops/Reflux
Pumps of about 7000 BPD. Additionally, these pumps experience poor reliability, are no
longer manufactured and are difficult to service.

Maximum capacity for the existing pumps at end of the performance curve is 5280 BPD
with ΔP of 265 psi (compared to 309 psi at design point capacity of 4100 BPD). To
achieve the 7000 BPD capacity will definitely require replacement of the pumps.
Replacement will also solve the reliability issue with the existing pumps.

For FEL-0 it is assumed that the pumps will be replaced. The suction piping is also to be
replaced (increase by one pipe size) as part of the pump replacements to minimize suction
line pressure drop. During the next phase of the project, the hydraulics of the discharge
piping/reflux piping should also be evaluated to see if it may need upsizing to reduce
pressure drop and save on pump ΔP requirements.
