Transforming Transmix

REDD was sought out by Equilon (a joint venture between Shell and Texaco) to provide a skid-mounted distillation unit for a Shell Oil Products Facility. The unit, designed for vacuum transmix processing at 1,500 barrels per day, required a custom-engineered, skid-mounted solution. REDD proceeded to model, design, and construct the system while aligning with client specifications. The full design package included the basis of design, process and flow calculations, PFDs, P&IDs, stream summaries, electrical diagrams, general arrangement and elevation drawings, equipment procurement, expediting, and final assembly of the skid-mounted transmix module.

Although Shell managed the installation internally, REDD provided technical assistance and on-site training during startup, ensuring a smooth transition into operation. The final system delivered extended operational uptime, allowing 26 weeks between cleanouts versus the industry average of 6 weeks.

REDD’s scalable, client-focused approach has made us a trusted partner for technology deployment and advanced system integration.
