INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF THE RECYCLE GAS FURNACE

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF THE RECYCLE GAS FURNACE

 I will share to you how I carried out the inspection and repair of the pre heater furnace of train 1 and I will explain the methodology that applied to achieving my objectives.

I began to work on this project in 5^th  April to 15^th April 2005. I worked on this for ten days.
I was in rol as “INSPECTION CORDINATOR/ SHUT DOWN” in ORINOCO IRON COMPANY
 

It was  a  repair project. I did  it As a part of the activities programmed for the shut down #08 of the train 1 Modulo #2, I proceeded to carry out the inspection routines and the fixtures in the pre heater furnace pipes.

WORKING IN ORINOCO IRON

 WORKING IN ORINOCO IRON

Orinoco Iron is a  iron ore reducing plant (briquette plant) where I worked over 11 years, which has many equipments widely used in oil refinery processes, because Orinoco Iron has to produce reformer gas from natural gas as a part of its internal process

This plant started up in 2000 by IBH and BHP Billinton companies and it is an iron ore reduction plant, which transforms the iron ore in briquettes of pure iron of 84% of metallic. The process used for this purpose is FINMET that means "fine metallic" and this technology was developed by Venezuelan people. It was built in Matanzas Puerto Ordaz Edo Bolívar Venezuela. It  has a capacity of 2,0 million tons of briquettes per year. This plant is constituted by two modules of a million tons each one. Each module has two trains of production and each one produce one thousand and five houndred tons (1700) by day.

GRVE LAMINATION JOINT

GRVE LAMINATION JOINT

I am proud to be one of the first engineers in apply this technology in Venezuela and in Latin America. 

GRVE LAMINATION JOINT is the process of joining two GRVE pipes by using a mixture of chemical and different types of rolled fiber material.
