Our Portfolio

DEC Experience
DEC staff has significant project experience through the
collective capabilities of the front line team, second tier staff
and all of the partner companies. Our project experience
includes our company and our collaborative business
partners to provide a wealth of specialized engineering
services.

Over the last year, DEC has utilized its business model to
perform work in the refining, chemical, commercial, and
transportation sectors. The following projects are from the
last year:

  • Propylene Compressor Troubleshooting: a 1400Hp
    centrifugal refrigeration compressor has been
    operating in and out of surge, as well as fouling. DEC
    has provided engineering and reliability service to
    revise the process to eliminate surge. DEC has also
    redesigned the lube oil piping to allow better
    maintenance access. DEC engineers have studied
    causes for the fouling and have recommended some
    options to mechanically remove entrained solids.

  • Railroad Spurs: DEC has laid out, specified and
    scoped over 7,000 lf of railroad modifications to allow
    a refinery to store, load and unload over 100 rail cars.

  • Flue Gas Piping Design: DEC project management has
    executed the budget estimate phase of a major
    refinery revamp in Holland. The FEL-2 project includes
    piping design, mechanical systems and support
    systems to be designed and budget estimated.

  • OSBL Piperack Design/Build: DEC has performed the
    detailed design of a Piperack modifications project to
    add “straddle rack” and rack extensions to an
    operating Sulfur Recovery Unit. The design has been
    completed, with the construction bid being submitted.
    With organic knowledge of the project scope and a
    very competitive fabrication price, DEC has confidence
    that their bid will be most competitive.

  • Security Improvements Project: DEC is currently
    designing and estimating security improvements for a
    refinery including a new security building, fence line
    and security monitoring to add a new threshold of
    security to a refinery. This project includes major civil
    work and security monitoring. DEC will manage but
    not contract the construction.

  • Blast Resistant Building Installations: DEC designed
    and bid out the installation of five blast resistant
    buildings. The project included locating the buildings
    based on the results of a blast risk study (facility
    siting). DEC sourced utilities for each building, and
    determined automation presence for each operator
    shelter. Project included studying the options
    between reinforcing existing structures versus
    purchasing pre-manufactured buildings. The pre-
    manufactured buildings were selected, were
    competitively bid, and DEC managed fabrication.

  • Miscellaneous Equipment Installations: Part of the
    DEC workload includes small equipment installations
    at various clients across the southwest region.
    Equipment includes pumps, exchangers, vessels, and
    control valves, for refining and chemical clients.
