The Direct Replacement Preheat Package (DRPP) solution will be contained within a single unit. Supplied with its own, self-contained, pressure breakdown system the proposed DRPP will utilise a combination of condensing boilers in conjunction with Gas Absorption Heat Pumps (GAHP) to provide heat to its ‘EU type’ heat exchanger system, allowing huge improvements in efficiency (around 130%), subject to ambient conditions. The DRPP will be designed and built specifically to utilise existing pipework connections and hard standings to minimise site disruption and maximise fabrication time within controlled workshop conditions.
The primary objective of this project is to research and develop a highly efficient Direct Replacement Pre-heat Package (DRPP) to replace existing in-efficient, obsolete systems at Pressure Reduction Installations (PRIs).
