Purpose

Dispose of streams at temporary and mobile sites where the site and environmental basis permits.

Arrangement and integration

Equipment functional diagram

The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.

A typical equipment arrangement is shown. Final execution, redundancy and valve scope are established during engineering.

Engineering basis

Design parameters

Final ratings, materials and supply scope are established from project-specific operating data.
