As a technology and engineering company and a leading Russian manufacturer of heat- and mass-transfer equipment, Spliteks offers solutions for the oil and gas processing, petrochemical and chemical industries that extend run length between turnarounds. The modern plant in Serpukhov manufactures equipment with increased resistance to corrosion, coking and deposits, making it possible to significantly extend the service life of columns and separation equipment, minimise downtime and reduce maintenance costs.
Spliteks applies advanced technical solutions when upgrading existing units. Existing processes are analysed to identify process bottlenecks, followed by modelling and selection of internals designs. High-strength materials are used in manufacture to ensure corrosion resistance over thousands of operating hours.
Column internals are designed with due regard to feedstock characteristics and product-quality requirements. The use of high-capacity contact devices increases column throughput while improving component separation quality. Deposits are reduced through smooth surfaces and optimised hydrodynamics, extending equipment service life.
Spliteks’s integrated services cover the complete cycle, from pre-design calculations to installation. This guarantees the specified process and hydraulic performance. Improved process efficiency increases product yields and minimises losses.
Key benefits include:
Longer run length between turnarounds through designs resistant to severe operating conditions.
Reduced major-overhaul and maintenance costs.
Shorter project implementation time owing to in-house manufacturing.
These solutions enable industrial facilities to save millions of roubles annually and improve their market competitiveness.
In the oil refining industry, Spliteks has completed distillation-column upgrade projects that extended run length between turnarounds to 4 years. The installation of special trays reduced coking and enabled 15% more feedstock to be processed without shutdowns.
In the chemical industry, similar approaches have been applied to absorption systems operating in aggressive media. The result was an operating period extended to 6 years, with reduced downtime.
Spliteks provides complete control at every stage. The process begins with diagnostics of existing systems, followed by hydraulic and process calculations, development of design documentation, manufacturing, supply and installation of the equipment. Manufacturing is performed at the Serpukhov plant using modern equipment.
Regular maintenance keeps the equipment operating efficiently throughout its service cycle, identifies and rectifies faults, and extends the service life of the equipment and its internals.
