Engineering Services
Engineering Solutions Without Limits
TEHPA provides a full spectrum of engineering services designed to support refineries, particularly when facing shortages of skilled personnel or specialized expertise. Our process engineering solutions span every stage, from catalyst selection, loading, and regeneration management to the start-up of catalytic units. We also perform routine operational checks, assess thermal and hydraulic constraints, and recommend optimizations for key equipment, including preheating trains, pumps, compressors, and platforming reactors.
Our capabilities extend to evaluating the performance of gas turbines and boilers, along with ensuring effective cooling water system management. These services can be delivered as one-time engagements or through long-term partnerships, depending on client needs. In addition, TEHPA offers tailored training programs for engineers and refinery operators, helping teams maintain safe, efficient, and reliable operations.
Flare Gas Recovery
TEHPA offers a next-generation Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) service that enables refineries to significantly cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Unlike conventional FGR systems that rely on costly equipment and complex designs, our solution is engineered to be both efficient and economical. By harnessing surplus energy, TEHPA’s approach optimizes flare gas capture, reducing environmental impact while reclaiming valuable gases that would otherwise be lost.
This service not only supports compliance with sustainability goals but also creates tangible financial benefits by converting wasted resources into usable energy. With TEHPA, refineries can achieve a balance of environmental responsibility and economic performance, making flare gas recovery a smart and sustainable choice.
LPG Recovery
TEHPA delivers advanced LPG recovery solutions designed to efficiently capture liquefied petroleum gas from refinery off-gases, particularly those generated by platformer units. Using an oil absorption process, LPG is absorbed into kerosene under low-temperature conditions, enabling the recovery of valuable C1–C5 components present in crude oil.
Each solution is customized to align with the design, age, and operating conditions of the refinery, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability. In certain projects, TEHPA integrates LPG recovery with heat recovery systems, harnessing surplus energy to power the process and further improve overall performance. This approach delivers significant environmental gains while creating measurable economic value for our clients.
Hydrogen Management
TEHPA provides specialized hydrogen management services to help refineries maximize hydrogen efficiency—an essential factor in lowering sulfur content in diesel fuel. With rising global diesel demand and increasingly strict sulfur regulations, refineries face growing pressure to optimize hydrogen use. Since hydrogen is commonly produced through steam-methane reforming, a costly, natural gas, intensive process, effective management is critical to both profitability and long-term sustainability.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of refinery units, pinpointing opportunities to improve hydrogen utilization based on each facility’s design, complexity, and operating conditions. TEHPA’s customized strategies enhance hydrogen efficiency, cut operational costs, and ensure compliance with stringent fuel standards. By implementing these solutions, refineries achieve stronger performance, improved profitability, and long-term alignment with evolving industry requirements.
Steam Management
TEHPA’s Steam Management services are designed to maximize efficiency in refinery operations such as fractionating towers, steam-cracking, and steam reforming. Steam is a critical source of thermal energy, yet its effectiveness is often reduced by poor maintenance, aging infrastructure, or system inefficiencies. For many refineries, particularly older facilities, steam loss and a decline in in-house expertise make effective management more important than ever.
Our approach focuses on evaluating and strengthening the integrity of steam systems, with particular attention to steam loss, condensate recovery, and water usage. By optimizing these areas, TEHPA helps refineries cut energy consumption, improve reliability, and increase profitability. With our solutions, steam systems operate at peak performance, supporting sustainability and driving operational excellence.
Water Management
TEHPA’s Water Management services tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing refineries today, water scarcity, especially in regions affected by drought. As facilities expand and environmental standards grow more stringent, sustainable water practices are becoming a necessity rather than an option.
Our solutions are designed to optimize water use across oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants, and the steel industry. By reducing raw water consumption and minimizing wastewater generation, we help lower both operational costs and the burden on treatment systems. The result is improved wastewater quality, reduced contaminant loads, and a smaller environmental footprint. With TEHPA’s approach, industries achieve greater efficiency while advancing their commitment to sustainability.
