ABSTRACT
The project scope consisted of adding new desalter and dehydrating trains in several oil processing centers. All trains were identical. The project included detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of equipment and associated utilities. The outlet crude oil had to meet stringent quality with respect to salt and water content. EPC contractor scope included detailed engineering, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover of desalter and dehydration trains to the owner. The project aimed to install an identical desalter and a dehydration train in several oil processing centers. Since the design was identical, any error in design had an impact on all the trains. The committee finalized the Statement of Requirements (SOR) after several rounds of consultations with stakeholders, and the same was forwarded to the inhouse design and engineering unit of the company for preparation of the FEED.
