ENCON’s Commitment to Innovation and Efficiency

At ENCON, we take pride in delivering innovative solutions that drive energy efficiency and operational excellence for our clients worldwide. In our latest collaboration with a prominent Global Refinery Unit, we implemented a comprehensive cooling tower upgrade to enhance performance and sustainability.

This project involved replacing traditional FTR fans with our advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) fans—designed to reduce energy consumption, minimize operational wear, and maximize cooling efficiency.


Project Highlights

  • Improved System Reliability:
    Significant reduction in gearbox vibrations, resulting in increased equipment stability and longer lifespan.
  • Energy Savings:
    Achieved an average energy savings of 34.17%, reducing power consumption and operational costs for the client.

Optimized Cooling Performance:
The same cooling performance was achieved with only 5 fans in operation, compared to the 6 fans previously required, demonstrating superior resource optimization.
