Debottlenecking

EDG conducts facility debottlenecking studies to determine the most effective strategy for increasing throughput within your organization. It is often a matter of simply increasing a line size, changing a valve trim or tweaking operating pressures. Other times, however, finding the best debottlenecking strategy can be challenging. Every piece of equipment has specific limitations, and our seasoned engineers are able to maximize equipment performance without installing costly new systems. By tabulating all components in the debottlenecking process and assessing the true capacity under actual operating conditions, engineers can recommend additions or modifications to existing equipment. We successfully completed our first debottlenecking project in 1982 and therefore have a strong knowledge base of best practices and lessons learned from which to draw. Innovative solutions to upgrade projects come from experience with similar facilities.
