CONSER SpA

License Technologies in Petrochemical Industry

CONSER experience is based on an extensive “know-how” of chemical and petrochemical technologies, up-to-date to the highest industrial standards.

CONSER technical solutions are specifically tailored to clients’ needs, in order to achieve the best cost/effective solution, preserving a high degree of flexibility, operability and safety.

In the design phase, critical challenges like by-products management, effluent and emission disposal and product quality assurance are the foundations of the solutions proposed by our process department. All the project phases are managed, from feasibility studies and process development up to and including assistance to initial start-up.

CONSER’s industrial experience in the petrochemical and chemical fields include the design of plants for hydrocarbon pyrolysis for the production of olefins and aromatics, chlorinated derivatives, organic acids and anhydrides, glycols, amines, resins, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals and the processing and recovery of aromatics.

In the section "Gallery & Media" is reported a list of petrochemical technologies in CONSER's portfolio, relating to CONSERS’s development experience and know-how.

Research & Development (R&D)

CONSER is devoted to research activities for the development of new processes and technologies.

CONSER has always been standing out in the scene of Italian process engineering companies for its faith in research, shown by its ceaseless investments in this field.

All the technologies we offer are fully and deeply developed, from the laboratory scale to the full commercialization scale, in order to provide to the clients the most advanced feasible and cost-effective solution.

As main of the result of our intense activity of research, CONSER developed several patent applications, to protect its intellectual property.

CONSER’s latest research efforts to improve different systems and processes include:

• Epichlorohydrin (ECH and ECH-EF)

• Maleic Anhydride (MAN)

• 1,4 Butandiol (BDO)
• Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

• Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL)

• Propylene Oxide (CHPO and HPPO)

• Methyl-Isobutyl-Ketone (MIBK)

• Butyl-Rubber and Halo-Butyl Rubber (IIR/HIIR)

• Bio-Succinic Acid’s Derivatives

Process development is achieved through ongoing research activity, with the goal of successful commercialization, evaluating alternative competitive routes, capital and operating costs, environmental sustainability and inherent process safety.

CONSER is keen to cooperate with producing companies to transform innovative ideas into new or improved processes, allowing to meet the industry’s stringent demands of tomorrow.

R&D activities are run in association with producing companies, qualified laboratories and research centres.

Among them, the most prestigious Italian universities:

• FTA (Fault Tree Analysis)
• LOPA (Layer Of Protection Analysis)
• SIL (Safety Integrity Level)
• RAM (Reliability Availability Maintainability)
• In-house Personnel Training and Courses
• Environmental Impact Assessment
• Safety Philosophy Reports /Basis of Safety Reports
• HSE Management Service
• Safety Design:
• Fire Zone
• Fire Fighting
• Fire Proofing
• Fire and Gas Detection
• Electric Hazardous Area Classification
• Flare System Design
• Operating Manuals and Procedures development
• Emergency Plans drafting

All the studies are performed in respect of the international standards like API, ASME, NFPA, ISO, BS ISO or similar, in accordance with the local regulation as requested.


Energy efficiency

Techniques for improving energy efficiency at the enterprise level are constantly expanding, from adopting a higher degree of energy recovery, to optimise the mass flows across the system.

Substantial improvements can be achieved without any major capital expenditure needed, guaranteeing a low payback time and high system on-stream factor.

Conser’s comprehensive energy services specialists can navigate customers through the financing and implementation of customized energy efficiency projects, as well as the operation and maintenance of new equipment, tapping the potential of energy conservation to generate cost savings.

Our team of expert can identify capital projects and operational modifications that can quickly reduce energy consumption and costs.

We have the breadth and depth of technical expertise to objectively develop the energy management project that is the best for each customer.

Our services include:

• Energy Efficiency Analysis
• Energy Recovery and Optimisation Analysis
• Pinch Analysis
• Costs/Benefit Analysis
• Greenhouse Footprint Analysis
• Carbon Inventory and Reduction Strategies Development

All the studies are performed in respect of the international standards like API, ASME, NFPA, ISO, BS ISO or similar, in accordance with the local regulation as requested.

REFINERY

Experience and efficiency in refining process design are essential to improve economics and achieve maximum profitability, especially when the process needs to accommodate a variable feedstock composition or an increased flexibility of the system.

CONSER, thanks to its full range experience in planning and design of petroleum processing units, has successfully completed more than 400 refinery revamping and upgrading projects.

Alone or in combination with qualified partners, CONSER can offer extremely efficient and up-to-date solutions for the needs of the refinery industries.

The specialized services offered by CONSER to the refinery industry include:

• Feasibility studies
• Complete process design for new units
• Energy saving and recovery project
• Revamping, debottlenecking and modernisation of existing systems
• Troubleshooting
• Test runs and assistance to operation

The experience of CONSER is extended also to ethylene plant design and revamping over more than 40 years.
