Whitepaper | Modular Integration of Process Equipment Packages for Oil and Gas Facilities

Published 13 Oct 2020

Abstract

An integrated design approach to a modular process equipment package is discussed. By incorporating the electrical, instrumentation and control equipment on the same platform as the process equipment, a higher level of modular integration is achieved.

The benefits include a reduced number of on-site equipment terminations and the ability to precommission equipment prior to installation resulting in lower installed costs. The area classification, installation and cable transit barrier requirements for an integrated modular design approach are reviewed.

Introduction

  1. Standard Modular Process Package Concept
  2. Integrated Modular Process Package Concept
  3. Piping and Cable Transit Barriers

Hazardous Areas & Explosive Atmospheres (Gas & Dust) | Ex e and Ex tb Explosion Protection Certified by ATEX & IECEx | Zone 1/21 & Zone 2/22

Conclusion

Roxtec modular cable transit seals are based upon a rubber design with seals that are constructed of a number of removable layers to secure a watertight, gas tight and fire proof seal around the cable or pipe – the range includes rectangular transits and round transits to fit a variety of pipes and cable sizes.
