The Lisbon Group recently supported the successful maintenance turnaround of two mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) regeneration trains associated with a dew-point control (DPC) facility processing raw natural gas primarily used for power generation for a major city in Africa.
We conducted an evaluation of high mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) losses and provided short-term and long-term recommendations for high MEG losses resulting in unacceptably high operating costs. After the implementation of short-term recommendations, which included adjustment of the MEG filling procedure and other remedial measures, MEG consumption decreased by ~30%. The long-term recommendations were recently successfully implemented with the Lisbon Group providing engineering, planning, procurement and execution support and resulted MEG consumption being decreased by and additional 30%.
We would like to congratulate our client’s operations staff for a job well done! The successful turnaround, which was delivered on time and on budget, minimized facility down-time which minimized electrical power interruptions for end-users.
