Introduction
UOP CCR is used as part of PlatformingTM and Olefin
processes. In 1994, UOP developed modular design of
the CCR to ensure quality and lower capital costs. CCR
modular design services from UOP provide several
benefits to refiners. UOP can:
쮿 Deliver a complete design and layout of the unit
쮿 Provide quality assurance
쮿 Shorten project schedule
쮿 Reduce capital costs
쮿 Provide a fixed price

instrumentation layout prior to construction.
Modular construction also shortens project schedules.
Because of the higher productivity of the fabrication and
assembly shops (compared with field construction), the
unit is built within the shortest possible time frame.

Capital costs
UOP’s modular design can reduce capital costs of the
CCR section. The productivity advantage of shop fabri-
cation results in a direct savings in capital cost. On a
CCR unit, where about half the cost of field construction
is attributable to labor, the savings with modular
construction can be significant.

Quality assurance
UOP provides quality assurance with the modular
design. The CCR section is constructed by experienced
personnel under the close scrutiny of UOP inspectors,
process engineers and field start-up engineers. The
Fixed price
The UOP modular CCR section is delivered to the refiner
for a fixed price and ready for efficient field erection.
The modules can be fabricated so minimal field welding
is necessary. After the site preparation is completed,
the erection of the modular CCR section can proceed
effeciently.
