In 1996 Destec Engineering performed a world first when they commenced preliminary
cutting to remove the Regenerator Head at Mobil’s Coryton Refinery 25 days, in advance
of day 1 of their planned turnaround start date, allowing the head to be lifted
on mechanical day 2.
Cutting of both the vessel shell and internal refractory were
carried out dry, from the outside, and included all the necessary weld prepping
ready for reinstatement of the head. All with NO MESS and NO POLLUTION.
Since those
early days Destec has continued with development of the technique and equipment
and it is now readily available for use anywhere in the world. Indeed the growing
number of satisfied customers who have benefitted from this unique system is already
into double figures and extends from the UK and Europe to the Middle East.
The success
of this record-breaking system is a tribute to the expertise of Destec Engineering.
