Performance test evaluation, hydrotreating unit
Independent technical review of the performance test report for a major distillate hydrotreating unit within a multi-billion-dollar refinery upgrading programme. The review audited fuel-gas heating-value calculations, challenged chemical-injection methodology, and traced guarantee figures back to raw test data.
A material composition error was identified in the contractor's energy-balance basis, and acceptance was conditioned on defined environmental-compliance gates — protecting the owner's guarantee position.
