Specialist Dust Control Solution Installed at a World Leading Oil Refinery

Case Study Overview

Phillips 66 has been operating as an energy manufacturing company in the UK for over 65 years. It's Humber Oil Refinery is located in Northern Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. The crude oil it processes is supplied primarily from the North Sea and includes light-, low- and medium-sulfur and acidic crude oils. Humber generates a large proportion of gasoline, diesel and aviation fuels.

Calderys is a global refractory leader that was tasked with working on a project at the Humber Oil Refinery.

Challenge

Calderys contacted the RVT Group because equipment utilised previously was not up to the task. According to the hierarchy of control, PPE should be the last line of defence, however, because extraction was not adequate, it had become the first line of defence. Calderys reached out to the RVT Group for a bespoke dust control solution, to better protect the health of their workers.

Solution

The RVT Group recommended using a Dustex Wandafilta Pro extraction and filtration kit. The fan and filter system was located outside the temporary mixing enclosure with flexible ducting leading to a hood supported on the rear of the mixer.
