As AED has grown, so too has it's footprint. Part of a portfolio of similar projects supporting a US-Based Midstream organization, each assignment utilizes a core team experienced both with the scope of work and client requirements to drive standardization, reduce inefficencies and leverage external team rapport. Although scope varies depending on location and market needs, most systems include mulitple butane storage vessels, truck offloading stations, pumps, dike relocation, associated interconnecting pipe and racks, and permitting services.

As part of AED's sustaining capital program support, AED's on-site and home office personnel designed an upgrade for a major refinery’s filter enhancement. The project consisted of a technical bid evaluation, procurement and detailed designs to increase the backwash capability supporting the refinery’s process of newly added filter improvements. Since the design utilized existing equipment, ASME calculations were provided to re-rate the pressure vessel and create pump specifications for its new service.

AED provided front-end engineering and detailed design for the OSBL portion of a new recycled motor oil processing facility. The designs consisted of developing 30% and 10% construction cost estimates. The work consisted of 11 new pumps, new and repurposed tanks, tank mixers, tank level instrumentation, and vapor control, detonation arrestors, 9,000 LF of 10”, 8”, 6”, and 4” piping with associated electrical heat tracing, new truck rack and existing truck rack piping components, earthwork (dikes), roadwork, perimeter fencing, and a new MCC.

AED executed a project involving the modification of an existing hot oil heating system serving asphalt lines for a major pipeline company. The addition of a new PPA (polyphosphoric acid) tank including dosing pumps was required to run the new truck rack loading lines. The project also included modifications for the asphalt tanks’ heating and mixing systems. AED provided an Electrical + Instrumentation scope of work to include power to the new asphalt and additive pumps, and new remote I/O panels. Detailed designs were completed in three months and the project was finished within an expedited timeframe.
