Extra large for “Jamnagar”

VMY-unit for Indian oil refinery

AERZEN was given an order, by a big Indian concern, for the development of an extremely large VMY-unit for the “Jamnagar” oil refinery. For this huge project, enormous expenditure was necessary.

The “Jamnagar” oil refinery, in the western state of Gujarat in India, is at present the largest oil refinery in the world. Furthermore, for many years it has been counted among the world’s largest industrial sites. AERZEN was entrusted by the operator for recycling purposes with a so-called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) application, which realises the separation of poisonous carbon/ hydrogen gas mixtures under pressure. The technical concept of the Process Gas Division, based on an oil-injected VMY 536M-solution, including an extensive control system, convinced our customer and its partners. So, in February of this year, a nearly identical follow-up order was placed with AERZEN.


New dimensions

With a weight of more than 80 tons, and an installation surface of about 140 square metres, distributed over three so-called “skids”, for AERZEN and Emmerthaler Apparatebau GmbH this order represented a new dimension. By means of an extension of the work surface in Emmerthal, the parallel construction of the three skids could be guaranteed. In addition, there were particularly high and extensive quality demands in the customer specifications, verified during more than 30 visits. Only by means of special equipment could all three skids be loaded in Emmerthal in September. Due to the external dimensions of the seaworthy packed VMY-unit for transport to the Port of Hamburg, only the Mittelland Canal was considered. Procurement, inspection and transfer of documents for the follow-up order are currently in full swing. As of January 2016, construction and pipework fabrication in Emmerthal will begin again.

Aerzen Turbo Generation 5 - now available in Asia

The new turbo series Generation 5 is available in Asia with immediate effect. As a first step, the sizes AT150 and AT200 (3,000 - 8,400 m3/h) will be locally produced by Aerzen Turbo in Korea; the sizes AT300 and AT400 (8,000 - 16,200 m3/h) will follow in the first quarter of 2016. The new series Generation 5 is characterised by improved fluid mechanics resulting in increased energy efficiency, reduced sound levels and less maintenance. Space-saving “side-by-side“ installation is also possible.

Emmerthaler Apparatebau twice recertified:

During this year’s recertification audit pursuant to ISO 9001 and BS OHSAS 18001, Emmerthaler Apparatebau GmbH demonstrated once again its excellent management systems for quality, occupational health and safety. The audit was carried out by the TÜV Nord and by the internal quality management, under the supervision of Michael Stewig. The results showed that no deviations were found. In the course of the continuous improvement process, however, further potential improvements were identified, and these now need to be realised. Thanks to this recertification, and the already attained certifications such as ASME, TR/TS 032, DNV, China License and H/H1, customers will be provided with the best possible service with regard to planning, calculation and manufacturing of pressure equipment, with everything coming from a single source.
