Rosneft Tuapse Fuels Up Its Energy Recovery
In 2006, the Rosneft Tuapse refinery in Southern Russia decided to improve energy recovery in one of its three crude preheat trains. A total of three Compabloc heat exchangers with plates made of 254 SMO were installed. One, with a surface area of 100 m 2 , replaced two traditional shell-and-tube units with a total surface area of 570 m 2 that were unable to tackle the requirement for more effective energy recovery. The other two Compabl
