Modernisation of the refinery Petrobras based in Northern Brazil and installation of a new flue gas cleaning facility were carried out at the beginning of 2010. As to the conveying technology, the general contractor opted for the Swiss quality provided by STAG.
At the headquarters in Maienfeld, STAG preassembled eight pressure conveying vessels ensuring the pneumatic ash removal and provided them with a heating system according to ATEX guidelines. Afterwards, these pressure conveying vessels were prepared for shipping to Brazil. STAG was also in charge of the configuration, engineering and detailing of the entire piping system. The production of the individual pipe segments took place in Brazil on the basis of STAG’s design drawings.
After the assembly carried our by the customer, a STAG service technician commissioned and delivered the conveying systems to the satisfied customer.
