WHEN MAKING INQUIRIES PLEASE INCLUDE THE ITEM NUMBER AND AS MUCH DETAIL ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AS POSSIBLE. YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER, LOCATION AND GMT TIME. WE CAN OFTEN CLARIFY MUCH DETAIL FASTER ON THE PHONE. WE CAN OFTEN GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE OF AVERAGE SHIPPING IF YOU WILL INCLUDE AT LEAST CITY AND ZIP CODE IN THE U.S. OR FOREIGN MAIL CODE. WE ARE IN GMT -0600 AND CAN BE REACHED BEST BETWEEN 0700 AND 2300 -0600 GMT (GREENWICH MEAN TIME).
FOR ALL ITEMS OR PARTS THAT YOU WANT THAT ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE INCLUDE PHOTOS. HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AN INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND PARTS FOR YOU. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
AN ASTERISK (ALSO KNOWN AS "STAR") " * " MEANS THAT WE SEE THAT THERE IS IMPORTANT AND HELPFUL DETAIL MISSING OR THE ACCURACY IS IN QUESTION. IN MOST CASES WE ARE TRYING TO CLARIFY AND CONFIRM OBJECTIVE DETAILS AND WILL UPDATE AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION.

WE HAVE CHECKED, PERSONALLY USE AND RECOMMEND THE PRODUCTS IN THESE LINKS.
LIMITED WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES: ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. IT IS NOT PRACTICAL TO SHIP MOST ITEMS ESPECIALLY MACHINERY ITEMS GREAT DISTANCES EVEN BETWEEN STATES AND ESPECIALLY BETWEEN COUNTRIES BUT THESE STATEMENTS SHOW THAT THE ITEMS ARE BETTER QUALITY AND WILL PROBABLY BE REASONABLY TROUBLE FREE WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
EVEN IF WE BUY A CAR IN THE U.S. IT HAS TO BE DELIVERED BACK TO THE DEALER OR AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER WHERE A DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE THAT A PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP AND IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF PROPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ITEMS USED FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ARE OFTEN NOT WARRANTED TO THE SAME STANDARD. A VERY FEW ITEMS HAVE A NATIONAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE NETWORK THAT IS PRACTICAL WHEN WE CONSIDER OUR "DOWN TIME" AND EVEN FEWER HAVE INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS. OUR BEST GUARANTEE IS TO PROPERLY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN WHAT WE BUY AND IT WILL BE CHEAPER OVER TIME AND IN MOST CASES MUCH OF OUR PROFIT MARGIN.
MOTIVATED RESPONSIBLE PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING EVEN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BECAUSE SPARE PARTS AND EXPERIENCED SERVICE ARE NOT AS AVAILABLE. MOST AMERICAN BUSINESSES BUY USED EQUIPMENT WHENEVER THEY CAN AND MAINTAIN IT THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE GROWING. THE NEW EQUIPMENT IS OFTEN TOO EXPENSIVE AND STILL HAS TO BE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST DAY OR THE DOWN TIME PUTS US OUT OF PROFITABLE BUSINESS. IF WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO "DO IT RIGHT" WHEN WILL WE FIND TIME "TO DO IT OVER".
USEFUL INFORMATION:
1 API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE) STANDARD MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN WELDS IN PIPELINES IS 2.5 TIMES THE DIAMETER OF PIPE;
2 PIPE INSIDE DIAMETER (ID) AND OUTSIDE DIAMETER (OD) STANDARDS: 0.125 INCH TO 12 INCH DIAMETER, SCHEDULE 40 STANDARD PIPE ID IS VERY CLOSE TO AND USUALLY A LITTLE OVER PIPE SIZE AND OD IS PLUS WALL THICKNESS (TIMES 2); 14 INCH TO 42 INCH DIAMETER PIPE IS USUALLY OD; ID IS LESS WALL THICKNESS (TIMES 2);
3 OIL REFINERIES REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 1 ACRE LAND AREA PER 1,000 BARRELS PER DAY CAPACITY FOR PROCESS EQUIPMENT AND IN AND OUT TANK STORAGE. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SAFETY AND SECURITY STRUCTURES LIKE EARTH BANKS OR LEVEES TO CONTAIN TANK LEAKS AND RUPTURES, SINGLE SAFETY FENCING TO KEEP HONEST PEOPLE OUT OF HAZARDOUS AREAS AND MULTI LAYERS OF FENCING, ELECTRONIC AND HUMAN SECURITY TO DETER CRIMINALS AND TERRORIST. PLAN AHEAD.
COMPLETE DETAILS ARE
REQUIRED FOR PARTS SEARCH AND THE REASONS ARE:
1
WE NEED THE TYPE OF MACHINE, BRAND NAME, MODEL NUMBER, SERIES NUMBERS, SPEC
NUMBERS (ALSO KNOWN AS PRODUCTION NUMBER IN SOME BRANDS), SERIAL NUMBERS AND
DESCRIPTION TO GET THE AVAILABILITY AND PRICES OF ANY PART OF ANY ITEM NEW AND
USED. THE MODEL NUMBER, SERIAL NUMBER, SPEC. OR PRODUCTION NUMBER
FOR BOTH THE ITEM AND ALL THE NUMBERS OF THE ITEM, MACHINE OR APPLIANCE IT IS
USED IN. THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS BECAUSE OEM'S (ORIGINAL
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURES) ARE
REMOVING THE MANUFACTURE'S DATA PLATE AND
ARE PUTTING THERE OWN STOCKING NUMBERS ON PARTS SO THAT OWNERS WANTING REPAIR
PARTS HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE MANUFACTURES SYSTEM TO GET THEM.
NUMBERS ARE CHANGED BY MANY COMPANIES AND
MANY COMPANIES ARE BOUGHT OUT BY OTHER COMPANIES AND THE NUMBERS ON ITEMS NOT
DELETED ARE MERGED INTO THE BIGGER SYSTEM.
THIS HELPS SUPPORT THE DEALER SYSTEM AND THE PARTS STOCKING SYSTEM.
THE PEOPLE IN THE WAREHOUSES CANNOT FIND THINGS WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE NUMBERS AND GENERALLY THE WAREHOUSE PEOPLE OF TODAY HAVE VERY LITTLE MECHANICAL APTITUDE AND/OR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE SO THEY HAVE LITTLE IDEA WHAT MOST PARTS DO. SEVERAL FACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING IN THE PAST DECADE ARE SHOWING THE FUTURE. THERE IS INCREASINGLY RAPID INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT AND WORLD WIDE COMPETITION. SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. EVEN THE FAMOUS VW BEATLE HAD DIFFERENT IMPROVED OR RESHAPED PARTS IN PROGRESSIVELY NEWER MODELS. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE SAME MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS WHY THE SERIAL NUMBER IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. IT SAVES US ALL TIME AND MONEY IF WE GET ALL THE NUMBERS AND PHOTOS RIGHT FROM THE START. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);
2
IT IS GETTING HARDER TO GET PARTS FOR OLD MACHINERY AND ITEMS OF ALL TYPES OLDER
THAN 1980 EVEN FOR ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN BRANDS WORLD WIDE, THE CATERPILLAR
BRAND. WE HAVE SEEN THIS TREND MOVING TO ONLY 10 YEARS AND LESS PARTS
AVAILABILITY OVER THE NEXT DECADE. THE FUTURE WILL BE "THROW
AWAY" OR "RECYCLE" OR JUST IN TIME PARTS EVEN IN THE FIRST 10
YEARS AFTER MANUFACTURE. WE ARE SEEING AUTOMATED MASS PRODUCTION
CHEAPER THAN REPAIR LABOR AND SPARE PARTS WAREHOUSING COSTS FOR BIGGER
MACHINERY NOT JUST ELECTRONICS AND SMALLER HARD GOODS.
WE HAVE EVEN TRIED A FEW YARDS THAT HAD MANY OLD MACHINES AND THEY WANTED SO MUCH TO TAKE THE PARTS OFF THAT IT WAS NOT WORTH IT ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SAME PARTS ARE USUALLY BAD AND MOST MACHINES OF THE SAME MODELS AND YEARS.
3 MANY PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND NO ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT WAY TO STORE PARTS FOR ALL OF THEM SO THE MANUFACTURE'S WAREHOUSING DEPARTMENTS ARE BEING PROMPTED BY THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS, BASED ON "EFFICIENCY" AND "RETURN ON INVESTMENT" STUDIES, TO CLEAR THE SHELVES OF PARTS THAT HAVE NOT MOVED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OVER A VARYING PERIOD OF YEARS. TO DO THIS THEY GENERALLY HAVE "SCRAPERS" COME IN AND CLEAN UP. THERE WAS A GENERALLY FOLLOWED "LAW" THAT A MANUFACTURER HAD TO HAVE PARTS AND REPAIRS OR EXCHANGE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH MOST MANUFACTURES AROUND THE WORLD NOW. IN THE U.S. THE STANDARD IS FOR 7 YEARS SUPPORT NOW. MANY ITEMS MADE IN CHINA ARE ONE RUN ONLY AND WILL NEVER BE MADE THE SAME.
THE "SCRAPERS" CANNOT AFFORD TO WAREHOUSE EVEN $3,000. CRANK SHAFTS AND OTHER EXPENSIVE MACHINED PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT MOVE FOR MANY YEARS IF EVER SO THE SCRAPERS SELL THEM FOR SCRAP METAL. THE METAL RECYCLERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. EVEN THE BEST MATERIALS CANNOT SURVIVE IN SALABLE CONDITION WITHOUT PROPER CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE AND A SYSTEM TO FIND THEM AGAIN. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
4 THE GLOBAL MARKET IS MOVING RAPIDLY TO A "MAKE AS NEEDED PARTS SYSTEM" USING COMPUTER CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT THE SAME AS ABOUT 50% OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IS MANUFACTURED NOW. THIS WILL SAVE AN ESTIMATED 50% MINIMUM ON PARTS COST, MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE PARTS FOR MORE DIFFERENT MACHINES AND ACTUALLY REDUCE THE TIME TO FIND, AND SHIP PARTS WORLD WIDE.
MICROSOFT, WHOM MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF CHANGE, PERIODICALLY STOP PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR OLDER PRODUCTS. THE POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS OPERATING SYSTEMS. CUSTOMERS CAN BUY "EXTENDED SUPPORT" FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS. MOST OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCING HARD GOODS HAVE OR WILL DO THE SAME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS IS NOT THE 1950'S. THIS IS NOT EVEN THE 1970'S. WE ARE IN THE 21 ST CENTURY. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
5 HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AN INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND PARTS FOR YOU. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
6 IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING THIS IS NOT WORTH DOING FOR ONE OR TWO ORDERS. WE DO THIS TO TRY TO DEVELOP A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE DO OTHER BUSINESS TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.
7 ALSO SEND SHIPPING INFORMATION INCLUDING ADDRESS WITH ZIP CODES, CONTACT INFORMATION AND PREFERRED METHOD AND CARRIER.
8 MANY MACHINE SHOPS CAN REPAIR OR REMAKE MANY PARTS IF THAT IS ALL THAT IS KEEPING AN OLD MACHINE FROM WORKING. WE HAVE EVEN HAD LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES OF MACHINE TOOL MANUFACTURERS TELL US THAT ON OLD LATHES IT WILL BE CHEAPER AND FASTER FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE THE PART MADE LOCALLY. IT WOULD ALSO TAKE 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO HAVE THE PART MADE BECAUSE OF LEAD TIME AND SHIPPING. ANOTHER SLOW DOWN IS THAT MANUFACTURES WILL MOST OFTEN NOT SHIP DIRECT SO PARTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE NEAREST DISTRIBUTOR THEN THEY CAN BE EXPORT SHIPPED. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
9 YOU ARE CORRECT. PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY. SEND PHOTOS. WITHOUT PHOTOS WE BOTH WASTE TIME. YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HOW HARD AND TIME WASTING IT IS TO GET EVEN NEW PARTS WITHOUT PHOTOS.
10 IF YOU FIND ANY SOURCES WOULD YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL MARKET COPIES OF MANUALS AND SURPLUS AND SALVAGE PARTS WITH YOU.

UPDATED 20040604 DETAILS AND CURRENT PRICE; NO LONGER AVAILABLE; LEFT FOR REFERENCE;ALL THE REFINERIES HAVE TO BE MOVED FROM WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED FOR NON COMPETE REASONS. THE TANK FARMS USUALLY STAY WHERE THEY ARE BUT TANKS ARE CHEAPER TO BUILD SO THE COST OF GAS FREEING THEM, CUTTING THEM DOWN AND PUTTING THEM BACK TOGETHER WOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME OR LESS THAN NEW BUILD ANYWAY. THE TANK BUILDING IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE COST AND TIME OF THE REFINERY SET UP. THE REFINERY EQUIPMENT IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, HAS LONG LEAD TIMES FOR NEW EQUIPMENT AND HAS EXPENSIVE PRESSURE TEST REQUIREMENTS.
WE CAN PROVIDE POWER TURBINE GENERATOR SETS FOR ALL YOUR PROJECTS.

SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE 1978 WHEN THE GULF REFINERY MADE THE STRATEGIC DECISION, AS PART OF A REINSTRUMENTATION PROJECT, TO INSTALL DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM. OVER A PHASED IMPLEMENTATION, STARTED IN 1978 AND COMPLETED IN 1981, ALL PROCESS AREA BASED CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEMS WERE RELOCATED ONTO TDC 2000.
THE REMAINING DATA HIGHWAY BASED HARDWARE STILL IN OPERATION CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING: BASIC CONTROLLER FILES 62; UNINTERRUPTED AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS 8; LOW LEVEL PROCESS INTERACE UNIT 4; HIGH LEVEL PROCESS INTERFACE UNITS 2; HIGHWAY TRAFFIC DIRECTORS 2.
2. LOCAL CONTROL NETWORK (LCN)
THE OPERATOR INTERFACE CONSOLES -2 OFF - IN THE PROCESS AREA CONTROL ROOM WERE REPLACED BY TDC 3000 UNIVERSAL OPERATOR STATIONS IN 1990. AT THE SAME TIME, AS PART OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECTS, NEW PROCESS INTERFACE INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEMS USING ADVANCED PROCESS MANAGERS AND A THIRD OPERATOR/ENGINEERING CONSOLE FOR PROCESS MONITORING AND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WERE INSTALLED.
THE TWO MAIN OPERATOR CONSOLES ALSO INCORPORATE HARD-WIRED ALARMS, EMERGENCY TRIP SWITCHES AND STATUS LIGHTS. THERE ARE SIX SCREENS/CONSOLE, FOUR OPERATOR KEYBOARDS, ONE "QWERTY" KEYBOARD AND ONE BERNOULLI CARTRIDGE. THE ENGINEERING CONSOLE CONSISTS OF TWO SCREENS AND OPERATOR KEYBOARDS, ONE "QWERTY" KEYBOARD AND DOUBLE BERNOULLI CARTRIDGE DRIVES.
THE NETWORK CABINETS CONTAIN HISTORY MODULES, APPLICATIONS MODULES, HIGHWAY GATEWAYS AND PLC GATEWAYS. AL UPGRADED TO K2 LEVEL BOARDS.
THERE IS A SEPARATE LCN IN THE COGENERATION CONTROL ROOM WHICH IS LINKED TO THE MAIN PROCESS AREA CONTROL ROOM VIA FIBRE OPTIC CABLES. THIS LCN CONSISTS OF A TWO SCREEN OPERATORS' CONSOLE, HISTORY MODULE, NETWORK INTERFACE MODULES AND PLC GATEWAY. [NOTE THAT THE CHP PLANT AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT IS BEING RETAINED AND OPERATED BY...]
THE PROCESS INTERFACE HARDWARE IS ADVANCED PROCESS MANAGERS WITH VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL I/0 CARGDS. THE CABINET POWER SUPPLIES AND ANALOGUE I/O CARDS ARE FULLY REDUNDANT.
A FULL HARDWARE INVENTORY OF THE MAIN HONEYWELL NODES IS AS FOLLOWS: UNIVERSAL OPERATOR STATIONS 16; NETWORK INTERFACE MODULES 4 (2 REDUNDANT PAIRS); HISTORY MODULES 4; APPLICATIONS MODULES 2; HIGHWAY GATEWAYS 2(2 REDUNDANT PAIRS); COMPUTER GATEWAYS 2; ADVANCED PROCESS MANAGERS 6.
3. OIL MOVEMENTS TDC 3000.
A TDC 3000 SYSTEM IS USED FOR MONITORING AND CONTROL OF A NUMBER OF MAJOR AREAS OF OIL MOVEMENTS. THIS SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED IN 1996.
SINCE THE TANK FARM AND ALL ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT IS BEING RETAINED AND OPERATED BY..., NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS GIVEN HERE.
THE EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS VIA 2-OFF 132 Kv OVERHEAD LINES RATED AT 50MVA. THESE LINES THEN FEED 20FF 132 Kv TO 11 Kv, 30 MVA TRANSFORMERS, WHICH IN TURN SUPPLY AN 11 Kv DISTRIBUTION SWITCHBOARD. ALL THIS EQUIPMENT IS THE PROPERTY OF SWALEC. THE REFINERY DOES HOWEVER, OWN 2 OIL CIRCUIT BREAKERS WHICH ARE PART OF THIS 11 Kv SWITCHBOARD.
THE SITE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK IS AT 11 Kv, WHICH IS THEN TRANSFORMED DOWN TO 415 v AND 3.3 Kv AND THEN TO INDIVIDUAL LOADS FROM 10 SITES SUBSTATIONS. THESE SUBSTATIONS ARE BRICK BUILDINGS, WHICH HOUSE 11 Kv SWITCHBOARDS, 415 v AND 3.3 Kv MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS. THE SITE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS ARE EXTERNAL TO THE SUBSTATIONS IN INDIVIDUAL SEGREGATED BAYS.
THE 11 Kv DISTRIBUTION SWITCHGEAR IS ALL 350 MVA RATED, OIL CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THE LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS ALL HAVE INCOMING CIRCUIT BREAKERS, WHICH ARE A MIXTURE OF OIL, VACUUM AND AIR BREAK OPERATION. ALL MOTOR STARTERS ARE DIRECT ON-LINE OPERATION.
THEE ARE A TOTAL OF 61, 11 Kv CIRCUIT BREAKERS, MOST OF WHICH WERE INSTALLED IN 1968. ALL THESE CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE BVP17 MODEL, MANUFACTURED BY G.E.C. LTD.
MOST OF THE TRANSFORMERS WERE INSTALLED AT THIS TIME, BUT SOME HAVE BEEN UPGRADED DUE TO PLANT EXPANSIONS. THERE ARE 32 TRANSFORMERS, WHICH ARE ALL OIL IMMERSED, WITH OIL CONSERVATOR AND NATURAL AIR COOLING. THEY ARE ALL STAR/DELTA WOUND FOR VECTOR GROUP Yd-1. MOST TRANSFORMERS ARE EITHER BRUSH OR S.W.S. LTD MANUFACTURE.
THERE ARE 11, 3.3 Kv AND 24, 415 VOLT MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS OF DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE AND AGE. HOWEVER, THE REFINERY COMPLETED AN UPGRADING EXERCISE IN THE PROCESS AREA, IN WHICH MOST 415 VOLT m.c.c's WERE CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME. THE RECENT 415 VOLT m.c.c's ARE ALL ALLENWEST AMD TJE 3/3 Lv m.c.c's ARE HAWKER SIDDLEY.

15.9.20. BIODIESEL PLANT; 12,000,000 GALLONS PER YEAR; NEW, WAS NEVER SET UP BUT IS ALL ON SITE; THE EQUIPMENT, ENGINEERING AND LICENSE WERE PURCHASED FROM DESMET BALLESTRA IN LATE 2006 BY A GROUP OF FARM COOPERATIVES IN THE WESTERN U.S. WHO ARE BUILDING A COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AND ETHANOL PLANT. DESMET BALLESTRA IS THE LARGEST PRODUCER OF BIODIESEL PLANTS IN THE WORLD. THE PLANT IS SET UP TO OPERATE USING SOYBEANS OR FATS. OVER 30 DIFFERENT PLANTS / CROPS AND ABOUT 270 OTHER PLANTS AND WASTE PRODUCTS CAN BE USED TO MAKE BIODIESEL. ETHANOL IS ONLY MOST PRACTICAL WITH CORN WHICH HAS OTHER VALUABLE MARKET USES AND THE ETHANOL STILL HAS TO BE BLENDED WITH GASOLINE TO MAKE A USEABLE FUEL. THE DIESEL ENGINE IS ABOUT 30% MORE HEAT EFFICIENT THEN GASOLINE ENGINES.
THE OWNERS / OPERATORS OF THE FACILITIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION ARE OFFERING THE FOLLOWING (THEY ARE UPGRADING TO LARGER PLANT):
THE BIODIESEL PLANT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED AND OPERATED UNDER CONTRACT AT THE SAME LOCATION WITH DISCOUNTED UTILITIES (STEAM / ELECTRICITY) FROM THE ADJACENT COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT. ADDITIONAL PLANT CAPACITY CAN BE ADDED AT THIS FACILITY. EXPERIENCED BIODIESEL PLANT BUILDING CONTRACTOR WILL INSTALL AND PUT IN OPERATION FOR $7,000,000. FIXED PRICE WITH ALL NEW TANKS AND EQUIPMENT OR COST PLUS WITH SOME VARIED OR USED TANKAGE OR OTHER MATERIALS OR SUITABLE STRUCTURES SUPPLIED BUY BUYERS WITH A MAXIMUM PRICE OF $7,000,000. (THAT MEANS IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE LESS IF THE BUYER SUPPLIED SOME OF THE REQUIRED MATERIALS AND DID NOT NEGATIVELY ALTER THE EXPERIENCED CONTRACTOR'S TIME AND MATERIAL COSTS. IF THE BUYER DID ALTER THE CONTRACTORS TIME AND MATERIAL COSTS THE CONTRACTOR WOULD DO THE JOB FOR A MAXIMUM OF $7.000,000. THOUGH THE CONSTRUCTION TIME FRAME WOULD PROBABLY BE LENGTHENED.)
THE BIODIESEL PLANT CAN BE BUILT ELSEWHERE AND OPERATED UNDER CONTRACT AS A STAND-ALONE OPERATION OR THE BUYER CAN OPERATE SEPARATELY.
OWNERS / OPERATORS HAVE CONTRACTS WITH CON AGRA TO SELL BIODIESEL PRODUCED AT THE FACILITY AT PREFERENTIAL PRICES.
CON AGRA WILL GUARANTEE THE SUPPLY OF BEAN / SEED OILS IF NEEDED, FOR A HANDLING CHARGE OF 1% OVER CONTRACT PRICE.
RAIL IS AVAILABLE NEARBY, AND A PIPELINE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO SUPPLY RAW MATERIAL AND SHIP FINISHED PRODUCT BY RAIL.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOW ALLOWS A $1. / GALLON TAX CREDIT FOR AGRI-BIODIESEL.
LEAD TIME FOR DELIVERY OF A NEW BIODIESEL PLANT FROM DESMET AVERAGES 12 MONTHS. THIS IS READY NOW.
