Project:
Garayalde Gas Compression Plant
Garayalde Gas Compression Plant
Customer: TGS Gas del Sur
Location: Garayalde – Chubut-Argentina
Our project consisted of surveying the existing facilities for the later erection and assembly of three gas compression packages (separators, coalescing filter, coolers, drainage tanks, oil tanks, scrubbers, SDV, etc), and its warehouse including a 3TN crane bridge, having delivered the complete detailed engineering, civil concrete bases, isometrics, HAZOP and Stress mechanical analysis under ASTM A53/A106/API 5L standards, electrical and instrumentation detailed engineering, startup procedures and its complete wiring and erection on site.
Gas and Oil Treatment Plant
Customer: YPF. Southern Argentina
Location: San Diego, Argentina
This project consisted of surveying existing facilities and based on this first assessment, determine the consequences of a complete Shut Down of the Plant, either related to an operational need or an unexpected reason (equipment failure or issues with the electricity supply system). Based on the findings of the study of both type of shutdowns, a series of proposals were made, divided into a) improvements of the existing facilities and, b) recommendations made in case the unexpected event occurs and minimize the impact of the GSD on the plant. This last one can have consequences of significant magnitude, such as fire in the facilities and its spread through the surrounding field, adding a greater inventory to the event.
