âWorth Every Nickelââ
As a part of “Project Tiger Cub’’ at the
Stanlow refinery of Essar Oil UK Ltd, there
was a requirement to replace and upgrade
a key component part within the Fluid
Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) during
the planned turnaround event in January
2018.
As a part of the replacement program
it was necessary to join a new 1 ¼ Cr ½
Mo vessel to an existing CrMo vessel that
had been in elevated temperature service
for in excess of 30 years. The section thickness
and diameter at the connection is
65 mm × 1,650 mm.
