Item 7018. Batch Refinery System Belize Executive Summary The system is a very compact, well-installed design housed in a 15000mm x 7500mm x 9000mm tall (50 ft x 25 ft x 30 ft tall + roof) building on three levels. The equipment is new, purchased in circa 2000-2002, and as advertised, has never had oil in it or started up. All equipment is in excellent shape. Discussion The system is inside and protected from the elements so there is no rust or damage at all and the original paint is still intact. The interiors of the vessels where there was no coating have only a slight coating of rust which can be easily removed with flushing. See schematic drawing. Structure & Piping: The 2 levels of structure and grating access are in very good shape, and should be match-marked & removed to ship with the system. The structure footprint is 12500mm x 5500mm. The piping and valves are still present as well and intact, and could be shipped as well. Pumps: All pumps are available except a condensate feed pump; all motor except one are gone and will have to be replaced. Electrical: All motors we examined are designed for 480V 60Hz. The complete system appears to be designed for US voltage at 60Hz. Pressure Vessels: All 4 pressure vessels (neutralizer, deodorizer, filter, and catch pot) have the CE mark of a pressure vessel from the European Union and we have drawings for all of them.
Individual Inspections Neutralizer Bleacher - Asset Number 1106 Condition: New, excellent. Some minor rust on inside The Neutralizer Bleacher is carbon steel with a stainless steel manhead. It has internal coils and a top entering agitator. Diameter of vessel is 91 inches. There is a 2 inch water and steam line into 8 injectors in the top for water dispersal during the water wash phase. There are 2 yellow 4 inch lines that are oil infeed and recycle, a white 2 inch line for bleaching earth, and a 6 inch vacuum line from the top. The bottom has a 60 degree cone for separating soapstock from oil. The agitator has three triplex blades and a 5.5KW motor running at 380V 50Hz. The agitator is fine but the motor will have to be changed to 480V 60Hz.
