The Challenge• To design a purge and pressurization enclosure to house the
ethylene pilot plant• To build an enclosure that could be dissembled to fit through
factory doors and re-assembled in a Zone 2 hazardous area
Our Experience

The Solution• The purge and pressurized enclosure was designed to
separate into 2 parts, so that it could pass through the factory doors
• The purge system was tailor-made for the enclosure and included features such as:
• Over-sized valves to accommodate low-pressure supply• Automatic change-over of purge gas to a secondary supply• A 2 hour purge timer

The Solution• Additional features included:
• Internal heat exchanger • Reactor vessel, which operates at 600 DegC and 300 bar
• In the event of any rupture or major process line failure, the reactor vessel is protected by a N2 blowdown system
