Petrochemical downstream equipment construction costs rise

According to the latest IHS CERA research report, the cost of designing and building global refinery and petrochemical plants rose by 1.5% in the six months to the first quarter of this year.
IHS CERA stated that the cost of global refining and petrochemical plant construction has steadily increased since the third quarter of last year, as the global economic recovery has stimulated the increase in the cost of daily necessities and general building materials, and projects delayed by construction due to the economic downturn have been launched again. Daniel Yergin, president of IHS CERA, said: “The global oil refining and petrochemical capacity construction boom has restarted, and costs will continue to rise and will soon return to the pre-recession level.”
The research report also shows that the construction of global refining and petrochemical capacity will be mainly concentrated in developing countries, such as China, India and the Middle East, where the demand for refining products in these areas is growing rapidly, and the government supports investment in refining. The developed regions, such as North America, Western Europe and Japan, will further integrate their refining capacity.

Guide idlers are also called stub idlers, limiting idlers, track-guiding idlers. Guide idlers are are designed to prevent belts from tracking off. usually by contact with the edge of the belt. They can be used on both the trough and return side of the conveyor belt. The problem with many guide idlers is the design itself. A conveyor belt can quickly wear down the steel of the guide roll to make it unusable.

 

Guide rollers are also called stub rollers, limiting rollers, track-guiding rollers, snub rollers or lateral guide rollers. Guide Idler and Conveyor Belt Tracking Guide, was developed during the 1940's to assure reliable Belt Conveyor Tracking in the following industries: Guide idlers are properly mounted at the sides of the belt so that they keeping it aligned if there are run outs. Continuous belt rubbing against the guide idlers might cause damage (edge wear) of the belt. In that case further check of the conveyor items (pulleys, idlers, etc) and structure should take place. Guide idlers are available in various diameters and lengths.

 

Guide Idler usually use ball bearing.
