AITESA and MOEVE reduce environmental impact at Energy Parks

In line with its commitment to sustainability and environmental impact reduction, AITESA has carried out the engineering, supply and assembly of the interconnection ducts that serve the new electrostatic precipitator (ESP) in the FCC units of two power plants.

The electrostatic precipitator is an equipment designed for the treatment of gaseous effluents, capturing the particles present in the gas stream before their emission into the atmosphere. Thanks to this technology, the level of emissions is significantly lower than the current regulatory limits, which represents an important step forward in reducing the environmental impact of industrial operations.

The gases treated in this project come from FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking), a key process in oil refining that transforms heavy hydrocarbons into lighter products, such as gasoline and petrochemical feedstocks. The reduction of solid particles in a unit of this importance reinforces the industry’s commitment to environmental protection.

• Within the framework of this project, AITESA has been responsible for:

  • Engineering, supply and erection of ducts and supporting structure.
  • Connections to existing ductwork and chimney to ensure optimal integration of new equipment.
  • Supply and installation of knife gate valves at the inlet and outlet of the precipitator, as well as a three-way distribution valve to direct the gases according to operational requirements.
  • Thermal insulation works in the ducts, optimizing the efficiency of the system.
  • Development of logic and signal wiring, ensuring effective communication and control of the valves from the supervisory system.

This project has been possible thanks to the effort and collaboration of all the teams involved, whose dedication has been key to its success. AITESA is grateful for the commitment of the professionals who have participated and the support of the operations team of both energy parks, thus consolidating a firm commitment to innovation and sustainability in the energy industry.
