Ingeniería - EPCm
As an engineering company, we are dedicated to offering technical solutions for energy efficiency.
Our commitment is to turn every challenge into an opportunity to improve the efficiency and sustainability of our clients. The following is a summary of our project “Increasing Efficiency in Plant 2 Furnaces”, which exemplifies our methodology and the scope of our capabilities in various engineering disciplines.
Resumen del proyecto
Our objective is to increase the efficiency of the furnaces of the C2/P2/G2/N2/HD3/H3 Units by installing advanced air preheaters.
These systems will allow operating below the acid dew point of the flue gas, reducing the flue gas temperature from 150-170ºC to approximately 95ºC, thus increasing energy efficiency and reducing SOx emissions by 80%.
Disciplinas de ingeniería involucradas
Ingeniería de procesos
In the basic engineering phase, we performed simulations of the process furnaces.
A rigorous sizing model is used for this purpose. That is:
- Mechanical: Materials and dimensions identical to those of existing furnaces.
- Process :
- Process fluid: Introduction of vaporization curves.
- Fuel : Composition, flow, temperature and pressure.
Ingeniería térmica
In the basic engineering phase, we carried out detailed thermal studies to calculate the performance of the furnaces and establish the design conditions for the preheaters.
We evaluate three main technologies for fume-to-air waste heat recovery equipment. Each of these technologies offers specific advantages that we carefully analyze to select the best option for the customer’s needs.

Oficina técnica
Definition and delineation from overall drawings to detailed drawings of equipment, piping and ducts for both air and fumes.
Instrumentación y control
We develop process and instrumentation diagrams(P&IDs) and process flow diagrams(PFDs), which describe in detail the layout of furnaces, preheaters, steam coils and associated instruments.
We also develop cause-effect matrices and define DCS control systems, ensuring accurate and safe control of operations.
Ingeniería estructural
Structural engineering focused on analyzing and justifying the modifications required to implement new hot and cold modules on the existing preheater structures.
We performed detailed calculations to ensure the integrity and safety of the structures, adapting them to the new operational requirements.
Obra civil
Procurement management involved the preparation of requisitions for request for quotations (RFQs), technical-economic tabulations and the preparation of technical and economic evaluation reports.
These processes ensured the acquisition of the best equipment and services, optimizing the cost-benefit ratio.
