a new ATTSU HH-8000/16 fire tube steam boiler at the AZZAWIYA OIL REFINING COMPANY's asphalt
plant in Benghazi. The project is managed by the contracting company AL-ITKAN. The detailed process
ensures the seamless integration of the new boiler, complying with safety standards and optimizing
performance, while simultaneously dismantling the old boiler.
2. Project Background:
The AZZAWIYA OIL REFINING COMPANY aims to enhance its operational efficiency by replacing an
existing steam boiler with the ATTSU HH-8000/16 fire tube steam boiler. AL-ITKAN, an experienced
industrial project management firm, is entrusted with executing the installation and dismantling process.

AL-ITKAN initiates the project by reviewing the manufacturer's installation manual for the ATTSU HH-
8000/16 fire tube steam boiler. This manual provides specific guidelines for the installation process,
ensuring a clear understanding of requirements and procedures. Necessary permits and approvals are
secured from local authorities in Benghazi to adhere to regulatory requirements. Since the installation
and dismantling are taking place at the same location, thorough planning is essential to minimize
downtime and disruptions.

The site preparation phase involves careful assessment of the existing steam boiler's location. AL-ITKAN
ensures that the chosen installation site is suitable for the new ATTSU HH-8000/16 boiler and takes into
consideration the removal of the old boiler. Structural integrity, ventilation, clearance, and safety
measures are evaluated to ensure a seamless transition.
5. Boiler Dismantling:
The existing steam boiler is dismantled following strict safety protocols. AL-ITKAN disconnects all utilities,
including water, steam, fuel, and electricity, and carefully removes the boiler and associated
components. This phase requires coordination and expertise to minimize any potential impact on
ongoing operations.
6. Boiler Unpacking and Inspection:
Upon receiving the new ATTSU HH-8000/16 fire tube steam boiler at the Benghazi asphalt plant, AL-
ITKAN conducts an exhaustive unpacking process. This involves a comprehensive inspection of all
components, including valves, safety devices, fittings, and labels, to ensure they are in optimal condition
for installation.
