Services - Technology Evaluation / Selection and Integration
Technology Evaluation/Selection and Integration

Service:

Technology Evaluation/Selection

Applications:

New or existing process plant facilities

Types of Facilities:

Refining, Petrochemical, Polymer, Gasification and Synthesis Gas Conversion Plants

Overview:

SNC-Lavalin provides process design to analyze and compare competing technologies for your production process. Our evaluations compare the capital and operating costs for various technology options based on your specific plant operation.

Typically we will evaluate technology features that impact the following elements important to your process plant:
  • Constructability and Operability
  • Control
  • Reliability and Maintainability
  • Safety and Environmental
  • Catalyst Logistics, if required
  • Plot Plan Layout
  • Capital and Operating Costs
  • Impact of Selected Technology on Schedule
  • Project Execution Considerations
  • Utility Consumption Studies
  • Results:

    Since we are not tied to any specific technology, we are able to provide an unbiased recommendation for the best technology for your plant situation.

    We provide the “Right Technology Solution” for your facility.

    Recent examples of SNC technology evaluations are:
  • Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Hydrotreater alternates
  • Butane isomerization unit conversion to gasoline desulfurization
  • Heavy oil upgrader expansion
  • Gasification of coal to synthesis gas
  • Service:

    Technology Integration

    Applications:

    New or existing process plant facilities

    Types of Facilities:

    Refining, Petrochemical, Polymer, Gasification and Synthesis Gas Conversion Plants

    Overview:

    SNC-Lavalin provides process design to integrate multiple selected technologies into a seamless facility to produce a range of related products. Our knowledge of the application of current commercially-available process technologies permits us to provide the most economical and technically feasible solutions.

    As an example, we have the capability and expertise to produce a process design that incorporates the following technologies into a single process plant for synthesis gas conversion:

  • Coal, Petcoke or Heavy Oil Gasification
  • Shift – Sour or Sweet
  • Acid Gas Extraction/Removal
  • CO2 Removal
  • Gas-to-Liquid Conversion
  • Hydroprocessing
  • Methanation
  • Results:

    Since we are not tied to any specific technology, we are able to provide an unbiased recommendation for the best technology integration for your plant situation.


    Recent examples of SNC technology integrations are:
  • Coal to synthetic natural gas
  • Stranded natural gas to diesel fuel
  • Associated natural gas to gasoline
  • Coal to diesel fuel and naphtha
  • IGCC (coal to power)
