As a major global process licensor Axens offers tailor-made energy technology solutions in refining, petrochemical, gas and renewables and can deliver complete basic engineering design packages for an optimized design detailed engineering review.

Through its Heurtey Petrochem Solutions brand, Axens is a supplier of furnace equipment, waste heat recovery units and services for the refining, petrochemicals and gas markets.

A modularization strategy offers ascendant advantages versus on-site manufacturing. Axens can provide tailor-made designs based on inlet feed conditions and meeting outlet specifications.

Axens offers industry players extensive in-house mechanical and instrumentation expertise around our technologies focusing on proprietary equipment. This expertise is completed by wide-ranging experience with other equipment such as vessels, internals, packing, heat exchangers, valves, analyzers and instrumentation as well as chemicals.

Axens can dispatch a team of Advisors to the site who provides a complete and detailed inspection of the units and associated equipment to ensure the construction conformity to Axens’ original Process Design Package.

A first load of catalyst / adsorbent is delivered on site. Axens advisors ensure the supervision of the on-site catalyst / adsorbents loading with specific assistance such as the Axens Catapas dense loading services.

Pre Start-up training is essential to gain a thorough understanding of the Unit operation before first start-up. This training,is a unique opportunity that cannot be missed to collect all technical information for a smooth start-up and an optimized operationThe pre-start-up training package includes classroom and simulator sessions and could be complemented with similar plant sessions done in Partners’ site.

As a partner, a team of experts will be on site at the critical stages of your project: catalysts activation, fresh feed-in, unit tuning and stabilization, performance tests. At the end, your unit is efficiently running at full capacity producing on-spec products.

To optimize the unit’s performances, conduct troubleshooting and feeds/products analysis, Axens provides assistance either regularly or on-request, either remotely or on-site. Depending on the required assistance, Axens’ Tech Advisors are dispatched to the site to evaluate the operation and propose a strategy to recover or improve performance. Furthermore, digital tools such as Connect’In™ can support online the set of Tech Services for unit operation follow-up and optimization.

Axens’ margin improvement studies encompass all technical and economic factors to provide clear directions for easy and rapid deployment of margin improvement programs.

Revamping can significantly help readjust the refinery product slate and maximizing the value of existing assets. Axens offers a pragmatic approach to help operators to select the best revamp scheme for their unit.

Relying on a reliable expertise to anticipate the unit end of cycle/life, Axens delivers on-time the reloads of product in order to meet with the unit shut-down requirements. Axens Tech. Services advisor provides on-site support to optimize transient operations as per standard operating guidelines.

Based on Unit follow-up and thorough behavior analysis, and dedicated for both new comers and experienced staff, Refresher trainings are essential for enhancing engineers and operators’ skills while unit is in operation.

As a process licensor and catalyst supplier, Axens has first-hand knowledge, of the best strategies for implementation of APC projects. APC provided by Axens ensures robust control, increases process operation stability and allows operators to reach the economical optimum yield through unique services and applications.
