BP awards Add Energy KLPG maintenance build contract
Add Energy, the international oil and gas upstream consultancy provider, has been awarded a contract worth £200,000 for work on BP’s Kinneil Liquid Petroleum Gas (KLPG) Chilldown Project located at its Refrigerated Liquid Petroleum Gas (RLPG) site in Grangemouth.
Add Energy will carry out the provision of a full maintenance build for the new KLPG plant. The scope of work includes an asset register validation and technical hierarchy build, equipment criticality assignments, development of maintenance strategies, procedures and job plans and a critical spares optimization and bill of materials (BOM) development.
“We are delighted to have been selected for this project by BP. As maintenance and reliability specialists, we have access to a team of 50 people who are subject matter experts in their own discipline,” said Peter Adam, Executive Vice President, Add Energy. “We have built a global library of maintenance strategies based on best practice and reliability data, which combined with lessons learnt from previous maintenance build contracts will support and enhance this project.”
The RLPG plant at Grangemouth currently operates with R22, a colorless, refrigerant gas. EU legislation requires the replacement of R22 and R410a has been identified as a suitable more environmentally friendly and efficient alternative. Refrigeration is required to chill the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to enable storage and eventual transportation by ship to market.
Hook-up and commissioning of the plant is now underway with the plant expected to be operational later this year.
