  • During construction, H+M managed various disciplines, including civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical.
  • Other deliverables included procurement of equipment/materials.

INTRODUCTION

H+M worked with the client to procure a UOP-licensed mercaptan removal process (Merox) technology package to reduce mercaptan in their Naphtha/Diesel finished product.

The Problem

Developing a mercaptan removal process in the Naptha/Diesel finished product required close collaboration with the client to define specific process requirements and objectives and carefully select and procure the proper equipment.

Challenges

  • Proper recognition of safety hazards and coordination with plant operations: H+M collaborated with the client to plan and schedule construction activities, ensuring resource allocation, work sequencing, and adherence to safety regulations.
  • Timely acquisition of required equipment/materials: This project required careful selection of equipment, materials, and suppliers based on expertise and compatibility with the UOP-licensed technology. 
  • Construction management and installation supervision: Managing various disciplines, including civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical, as well as supervision to ensure successful installation and integration of the mercaptan removal process.
  • Testing and inspection: Conducting rigorous testing and inspection throughout the process to verify functionality, performance, and compliance with safety regulations

Outcomes

The outcome of the mercaptan removal project included the following:

  • Timely project completion and client satisfaction: The project achieved its objectives, delivered value to the client facility. Implementation of the UOP-licensed mercaptan treating process technology resulted in the desired reduction of mercaptan in the Naphtha/Diesel finished product. H+M's collaborative approach, effective communication, coordination, and goal alignment with the client facilitated the project's success.
