Leading Gas-to-Liquids Producer Reduces Costs and Engineering Hours Using Aspen HYSYS®
ORYX GTL Limited, a gas-to-liquids (GTL) diesel and naphtha producer, needed a new propane unit design that would incorporate a blowdown system to discharge hydrocarbon liquid under potential fire scenarios.
Recognizing the safety risk to both personnel and infrastructure, they implemented a design that enabled them to:
- Increase plant safety significantly
- Save over $130M USD in downtime costs
- Avoid the need to implement the High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS), saving nearly $7M USD
- Reduce project completion time by nearly 73%
