Encyclopedia
S.C. IPIP S.A. the Engineering
and Design Institute for Oil Refineries
and Petrochemical Plants is a Romanian company which was established in 1950, at Ploiești
, as a milestone in the development of the petroleum
, hydrocarbon processing
and petrochemical industries
as well as of their related fields, in Romania
.
but also in the southeast of Europe, IPIP SA was the only design institute for refineries and petrochemistry
.
Right away after its foundation, IPIP worked in the service of the Romanian refineries damaged during the second war, fully contributing to their restoring.
Later, in the '70s, within the general frame of development of the Romanian industry, IPIP was in charge of designing new refineries of large capacity and high complexity, for the processing of the domestic and imported crude oil.
The Institute has performed the complete engineering and design for the achievement and implementation of the new Romanian refineries and for the revamping and extension of the existent ones. Thus, IPIP has fully designed the 11 oil refineries of Romania, totaling a processing capacity of about 40,000,000 Mt/y, and a great number of objectives abroad, spread worldwide and comprising, mainly, oil refineries, lube oil / gas processing complexes, oil terminal and other associated facilities.
IPIP SA has been audited and approved by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance
to the following Quality management System Standards: ISO 9001:2000, EN ISO 9001:2000, SR EN ISO 9001:2001, for Engineering
, basic and detail design, project management
, procurement
, consultancy and technical assistance for oil refineries, gas processing and petrochemical plants, pipelines
and related facilities. Design for indoor electrical systems for civil and industrial buildings, for 0.4 kV underground and above-ground branches. Design for 0.4-20 kV above-ground electrical lines or underground cable tray routing, and transformer substations.
IPIP offers today a full range of services from the conceptual phases through on-stream operation, post start-up assistance and training.
The activities of the Institute are focused on consulting services, conceptual, feasibility and viability studies, capital and operating cost estimates, project planning and management including EPCM
and EPC
project implementation, basic and detailed engineering for any related specialty, procurement
, pre-commissioning and commissioning
, start-up, current operation, field and shop inspection, preventive and routine maintenance, plant testing / analysis / optimization / revamping / retrofitting / expansion, general and on-the-job training, energy conservation, environmental protection systems, etc.
IPIP is focused on developing 3D design using Intergraph
