  • Project Diamond

    Pembina engaged Rangeland to increase flow-through capacity of the original process train at their Redwater facility.

    Our team evaluated the process conditions and ultimately recommended a combination of tower tray upgrades and reboiler modifications. The existing kettle type reboilers were replaced with vertical thermosyphon style requiring major infrastructure changes in both piping and structural elements. Significant hot oil system debottlenecking was required to provide the required heat duty including piping upgrades and system paralleling. Modular construction focus and a streamline integration is a key success in this project. Integrating the new equipment into the limited space was a complex endeavor; new reboiler equipment, in a new orientation, was a significant challenge to overcome
