Refining and Petrochemical Vice-Presidency Projects
Client: ECOPETROL´s Refining and Petrochemical Vice-Presidency.
Scope:ECOPETROL retained VQ to provide Owner’s Engineer Services to assist in the implementation of projects in accordance to ECOPETROL’s Project Maturity Model. The overall scope included project planning, coordination and control to achieve ECOPETROL’s corporate goals regarding scope, cost, schedule, quality and HSE.
Relevant projects included:
Barrancabermeja' s Refinery Management (BRM): Refinery-Grade Propylene storage capacity expansion from 16.000 to 30.000 Barrels.- BRM power distribution system upgrades to ensure continuous power supply with a minium reliability of 93%.
- BRM power distribution system upgrades to ensure continuous power supply with a minium reliability of 93%.
- Procurement and Installation of pressurization equipment to eliminate potential leaks of toxic or explosive gases in thirteen control rooms at the BRM. The purpose of the project was to achieve a continuous G1 non hazardous environment according to the International Society for Automation (ISA) STANDARD S71.041, Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants.
- BRM's UOP II Cracking Unit: converter and muffler tower upgrading.
- BRM Turboexpander Plant: instrumentation and control systems upgrading.
- BRM: application of protective fireproof material as part of the Passive Protection Master Plan implementation. The purpose of the project was to minimize potential impact in the event of fire at the BRM facilities.
