UNO-VEN FCC Revamp Project
Fluor was awarded the project management, preliminary engineering, detailed engineering, procurement and contracts for UNO-VEN's Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Revamp Project. Fluor was the prime contractor for the construction management and turnaround maintenance for the revamp and expansion of the FCC unit, which utilizes UOP technology. The FCC Revamp Project combined eight projects plus turnaround maintenance into a single consolidated project.
Fluor's scope of work covered both capital and maintenance in the FCC Unit, with the single item being the complete replacement of the reactor head, plenum and cyclones. The goal was to increase unit capacity, operating flexibility, reliability and on-steam efficiency and to allow for future expansion.
Client's Challenge
FCC unit turnarounds are among the most hazardous in refinery construction. The heavy lifts, extensive scaffolding, catalyst dust, confined space, outgassing from old refractory and manpower density all contribute to safety hazards. To maintain current production levels, it was important for Fluor to engineer the new work so that it could be done with limited disruptions to the ongoing operations.
