APL SERVICES TO ENGINEERING COMPANIES AND APL's AMINE END USERS

The services offered are well established and thoroughly mastered at the APL’s government recognized R & D Center at Turbhe, in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra - India.

The services and technical support are provided by an efficient operation and experienced-dedicated teams of engineers and chemists who have gone through vigorous training in India and abroad.

To assure the consistent realization of our goal, we offer a comprehensive five steps service program to our Specialty Amine customers. Services includes the following:

We assist in identifying the most appropriate amine for the application. A simulation model is developed which will accurately predict the performance of the APL's product in the amine unit. The simulation is kinetic and mass transfer driven providing the most complete understanding of how well the technology will perform. The simulation is also used to identify potential problems in the design so that they may be addressed before the plant is built or the product is purchased. Our simulation model provides process flow diagram, stream properties, contactor / regenerator profile & Heat duties.

Training of the amine unit operating personnel prior to start-up as this is one key to a smooth installation. To help achieve this, we prepare a start-up manual that's customized for the amine system under consideration. The operating manual covers subjects such as start-up procedures, cleaning and system preparation, operating conditions, analytical methods, troubleshooting suggestions, and the properties of the APL's product used.

Simulation model can be used to provide guidelines for operation during start-up of the plant at the different conditions which may occur.

Once the amine unit operation is stabilized, we analyze samples at regular intervals. By conducting a complete optimization study, under normal operating conditions, we can often find ways to further fine tune the amine unit(s). The APL technical support group and analytical laboratory will help to maintain a high level of performance by assisting in periodically monitoring the amine system.

APL also provides ongoing support to all users of its products.
