FABRICATION, PROCUREMENT, AND MODULAR UNITS

LeMar has successfully designed, fabricated, delivered, and installed process units across the globe since 1992.

MODULAR PROCESS UNITS

LeMar manufactures the following modular petroleum process units:

  • Distillation units
  • Hydrotreater units
  • Catalytic reformer and isomerization units
  • Splitters, stabilizers, desalters and flares
  • Compressors and Pumps per customer applications
  • Dosing and Metering Skids
  • Control systems and SCADA

Modular construction

Modular construction shortens on-site installation time and customer operating revenue is achieved sooner. The old ‘stick built’ method requires significantly longer construction time than  modular fabrication.

In modular construction, rather than assembling all of the components at the site, the facility’s structure is reduced to smaller elements that can be assembled more efficiently and rapidly at our fabrication site. Modular construction typically costs between 65% and 80% of traditional ‘stick built’ construction.

Modularization also minimizes inclement weather delays and reduces costs since high-cost field work hours are transferred to lower-cost shop hours. Building with modules reduces the need to maintain a skilled construction crew on or near the refinery site.

Fabricated modular process units away from the refinery’s final site reduces the impact of construction on the customer’s site, a significant advantage when the installation site already is an operating plant. Modular construction also minimizes lay-down space, an important consideration when the field site is small or congested.

Modular plants with pre-fitted components onto a module permits correction of any fitting errors prior to shipment to a customer’s plant, with less re-work needing to be performed on-site. Procurement also is simplified, especially when the installation site is located where raw materials and equipment are expensive or difficult to obtain.

Company maintains great relationships with its supply chain and in turn is able to procure manufacturing components with ease, saving the customer time and money.

CKID MOUNTED EQUIPMENT

LeMar designs its skid-mounted modular equipment, such as dosing  and metering complexes, heat-exchangers, vessels, etc. for placement on concrete slab foundations. A module leaves company fabrication plant nearly complete, with most of its support structure, pipe, instrument mountings, electrical wiring, grating, fireproofing, insulation and other components built in and ready for operation, once connection is made to the refinery’s systems.

LeMar experienced start-up team oversees every installation, commissioning, start-up and test-run, to ensure 100% success.
