Petroleum Pilot Plant Services
Petroleum pilot plant testing, simulating petroleum refinery process units.
Intertek pilot plant experts help clients improve petroleum refinery production, quality and efficiencies. Intertek's petroleum and petro-chemical pilot plant capabilities range from crude oil introduction by desalting and distillation through resid upgrading applications. The refining pilot plants evaluate process and catalyst upgrades, troubleshoot refining operations, optimize production facilities, and prove the design basis for commercial applications. Intertek offers the flexibility to adapt and modify pilot-plant units to evaluate a wide range of chemical, petrochemical and synthetic fuel processing configurations ranging from light naphtha to vacuum resid.
Intertek provides around-the-clock attended unit operations and analytical controls to permit timely, cost-effective and accurate process evaluations in its pilot plants. The pilot plants employ up-to-date automation, including on-stream analyzers, computer data logging and material balance documentation. The pilot plants include hydro-processing and non-hydro-processing operations.
