RECAPEX II – U400 Compression Plant Expansion

EPC project for the expansion of the gas compression and handling system in Lot 57, in the Nuevo Mundo area and the U-400 plant. The work incorporates new engine-driven booster compressors and advanced control systems, strengthening the operational capacity and ensuring the continuity of gas production in one of the most relevant production areas in the country.

A Brownfield project in active operation

The greatest challenge of the project is not in what is built, but where and when. The intervention occurs in an operational plant that cannot be stopped, forcing each connection, test and lifting with the operating windows that the client authorizes..

Added to this challenge, is the logistical magnitude: four compressors manufactured in China and the United States, transported by sea, river and land routes to the Peruvian jungle, totaling to more than 34,000 kilometers. SEPCON executes the complete project cycle, from engineering to startup support, integrating electrical, mechanical and instrumentation works, together with modifications to the DeltaV control system that operates the plant.
