Wayne Dalum 10-13 Oil Battery Expansion

The Wayne Dalumsite serves as a major location for the bulk separation of emulsion from nearby wells, pipelines and trucks. To accommodate additional pipeline capacity, Rangeland was contracted to double the storage capacity of the existing oil battery to 1000-1200m3/day, as well as increase the take-away capacity of the truck terminal.
As a brownfield site, the facility’s available drawings did not always reflect the facility as it was. Rangeland spent time onsite verifying the drawings and updating schematics. This was a critical step for design and construction and ensured the facility was upgraded to meet safety and control codes. A key engineering challenge was that the plant’s existing drawings didn’t always reflect modifications that may have been made to the plant over the years.
