Description:
Hot gas expanders have been a problematic reliability issue in cat cracking units since their first applications. Historical data on over 100 expander runs from over 20 installations in the industry have been gathered and analyzed. These data will be discussed along with an overview of the reliability/unreliability drivers. These drivers were generated by extensive technical evaluation, detailed root cause analyses, and industry hallway gossip. A broad conclusion that is drawn is the hot gas expander is likely the most interactive, integrated machine component in a critical refinery system.
