Main tasks and responsibilities

Scope

Engineering Support to MAF Assets .

Mechanical Engineering Services applicable to MAF Assets:

Statics

Mechanical Statics: Analyzing the equilibrium of forces acting on a stationary object and determining the resulting stresses, strains, and deformation.

Mechanical statics is used to design and analyze structures and machines that are designed to remain in a fixed position, Mechanical stationary equipment (non-moving equipment such as tanks and other vessels:

• Pressure vessels, (drums, columns, reactors, filters)
• Heat exchangers (shell and tubes, plate and frame, air coolers).
• Columns: used to separate crude oil and other feedstocks into different fractions and are operated under high temperatures and pressures from which is required a careful design to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Storage tanks,
• Fired Heaters,
• Pig launchers
• Furnaces: to heat process streams to high temperatures. To heat crude oil and other feedstocks before they enter the distillation columns.
• Flare systems: to safely burn off excess hydrocarbons that cannot be processed or stored and prevent the release of potentially dangerous gases into the atmosphere.
