Proposals, Technical and Feasibility Studies

GTC's proposals, technical, and feasibility studies empower clients to make informed decisions on technical and economical aspects of upcoming projects, new technologies, or processing schemes.

Our technical proposals and feasibility studies include:

General overview of our technologies with comparative evaluation versus other similar processing options
Preliminary technical information related to material and heat balance
Product quality
Utility and energy consumption
Information related to all categories of waste and corresponding disposal methods
Sized equipment list
Preliminary plot area required and equipment arrangement
Estimates of chemical, solvent, or catalyst first charge and annual consumption
Economic evaluation from simple estimated investment cost of the facilities included in the project scope
Detailed production cost or cash flow calculations included in addition to the technical part of each documentation

Our proposals and feasibility studies can be provided for a single cases all the way to an extended comparative analysis based on different feed options, plant locations, plant capacities, or production profiles. We can also provide proposals and feasibility studies for different scopes of work including the main processing plant as well as various auxiliary facilities required for the operation of the plant, grassroots units, or revamps of existing facilities.

When a revamp case is evaluated, the engineering documentation includes information related to the reuse of existing equipment, a list of additional required new equipment, a list of idled equipment, comparative data related to increased capacity, improved product quality, and improved energy consumption of the revamped facility.

During the proposal or feasibility study preparation, GTC works closely with clients every step of the way to ensure that goals are met. Visits prior to the start of engineering work as well as a presentations and supporting activities during customer evaluation of our documentation are provided.

Basic Engineering Packages

GTC's Basic Engineering Package (BEP) is designed so that all important technology information can efficiently and successfully be transferred to customers. The information is constructed so that an experienced detail engineering contractor can easily execute the corresponding DE documentation. Our BEP covers the entire technology know-how information for constructing and operating a plant.

The BEP information is built on company know how, thoughtful analysis and research, proprietary simulation models, internal data bases, and monitoring of operational technologies:

GTC's comprehensive BEP documentation includes:

Detailed process flow diagrams
P&ID's, heat and material balance
Equipment process specifications
Process control description
Instrument process specifications
PSV's and flare loading specifications
Material of construction diagrams
Detailed operating instructions

Our BEP documentation covers different operating scenarios in terms of feed, product or capacity variation, offering design solutions for each of the requested cases. The BEP documentation includes the information for all auxiliary facilities essential for the proper operation of the main processing unit. This may include solvent facilities, regeneration systems, waste disposal systems, feed preparation facilities, special loading/unloading systems etc.

GTC's BEP documentation for grassroots units are updated with the latest process improvements based on research and data collected from our similar units in operation. GTC is well known for its expertise in revamping existing units by finding innovative solutions for modernizing old facilities. Our expertise in reconfiguring the processing scheme, implementing unique technologies and knowledge in basic unit operation makes it possible to reach unprecedented performance.

Front End Engineering Design Package

GTC has the capability to extend the design work and BEP documentation to the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) level. The FEED information is based on a deep understanding of each technology and incorporates the experience and knowledge of our diverse engineering team. The combined BE-FEED design enables us to provide clients with shorter project schedules and improved project quality due to a single engineering source involved in the design activity.

The information available in FEED documentation extends the BE information to detailed documents for instrumentation, civil, electrical, and piping among others, which are required for FEED preparation. The FEED documentation is presented in a ready-to-use format for selecting a DE Contractor. Investment cost estimation associated with the corresponding FEED documentation is also offered as a FEED deliverable.
