Proven Uhde BM 2.800 Nm³/day Main Features 1.7 MTPD as 32% w/w solution 2. High degree of automation 5.Standard Plant Characteristics Nominal plant capacity (100% Basis) 1. Caustic concentration Civil works can be executed in parallel to skid production to reduce the erection time 4 .Optional Sections Optional sections (to customer specifications. HCl synthesis units 3. Primary brine purification for raw salt 2. dedicated engineering required): 1. but largest for containerized skids The first skid mounted plant is today under completion in Germany . ThyssenKrupp Uhde and AkzoNobel to develop a new chlor-alkali plant based on: • automated operation (minimal operator staff) • skid-mounted configuration • small capacity.Increasing interest for on-site production of chlorine and its derivatives convinced UHDENORA. together with other elements to complete process units For the project in Germany. hydrogen cooling and filtration. UHDENORA has supplied to Thyssen Krupp Uhde the following skid groups: • • • Group 1: Active carbon brine filtration and Ion Exchange Resins Group 2: Electrolysis. brine dechlorination. on site.How it Works Skids are pre-assembled in a work shop under excellent conditions Civil construction can start in parallel with skid assembly Skids are transported to the site Several skids are combined. chlorine cooling Group 4: Waste gas absorption 6 . catholyte circulation. p.

Layout (layout includes future plant expansion with a second skid mounted unit) 8 .Leuna Harze Project . 9 .Shop Fabrication – Group 1 For Group 1. active carbon and IOX towers are not skid mounted to facilitate the installation and to avoid unnecessary system complexity. Shop Fabrication – Group 2 • The Groups are made by different skids sized for standard container transportation • All skids are assembled in the workshop and connected together in the final field configuration 10 . piping and instrumentation are installed in the workshop 11 .Shop Fabrication – Group 2 Equipment. Shop Fabrication – Group 4 All skid groups are pre assembled to ensure easy and fast site installation 12 . Shop Testing – Group 4 Shop testing is performed to the maximum extent to reduce on site activities 13 . where possible. electrical wiring and.Shop Testing Testing All the groups have been tested to the maximum extent in the workshop Mechanical connections. pressure tests have been performed Easy field installation is guaranteed from the workshop testing of mechanical tolerances 14 . Site Installation – Group 1 Active Carbon Carbon (left) and IOX (right) towers 15 . Site Installation – Group 2 Skids are connected together in the field Skid re-assembly took only two days using only one crane 16 . Site Installation – Group 2 Foundations have been prepared in parallel to skid fabrication to save time 17 . Site Installation – Group 2 & 4 October 2011 18 . the absorption tower was transported in one piece to save time.Site Installation – Group 4 For this project. also in consideration of the proximity of the shop fabrication to the plant 19 . electrical.Project timing • TK Uhde order to UHDENORA was placed on February 2011 • Order to skid manufacturer was placed on April 2011 • Last skid was delivered end of September 2011 (6 months) • • • • On site re assembly for Group 1: 1 day On site re assembly for Group 2: 2 days On site re assembly for Group 4: 1 day Transformer / Rectifier delivery: End of November 2011 (not skid mounted) • Skid interconnecting works (piping. instrumentation): Expected by end of November – first half of December 2011. • Heat tracing and insulation works performed in the field 20 . piping and instrumentation already installed Reduced skill personnel necessary for erection Automated plant operation Reduced personnel for plant operation 21 .Conclusions Time and cost optimized projects Optimized and standardized plant design Only engineering for local customization needed Fast start up of the plant (12 – 14 months possible from effective date proven from the first projet) Reduced time and costs for erection activities Easy handling of skids during installation Reduced requirement for on site construction Equipment. 2292 Fax: +39 02 2129.Italy Phone: +39 02 2129.uhdenora.Contacts UHDENORA S.com .p.
