INDUSTRY: CHEMICAL
Optimize production, boost profitability, and keep your people safe.
Enabling safer and more efficient Chemical processing.
There is no room for error in the Chemical production industry. If your process operates blind for even a split second the emergency shutdown system will likely be triggered, halting production. The implications of an outage are significant, with each day of lost production having a severe financial impact on operations. Additionally, manual intervention will inevitably be required to rod out the blockage – a dangerous task that puts lives at risk.
Key issues faced in the Chemical sector.
- Equipment malfunction or failure as a result of chemical blockages.
- Personnel operating in toxic and hazardous environments with high temperatures and pressures.
- Managing clogged pipes and measurement holes with hydroblasting, a short-term solution requiring unit shutdown. Liquid or gas introduced to clear plugged tapping points may also interfere with the chemical composition and process measurement.
- Operating blind based on false readings from field devices, including pressure differential instrumentation.
- Constant threat of unit shutdowns which can cost operations millions of dollars in lost production.
How the Autorodder™ helps:
- Automatically cleans out tapping points by scraping away chemical build-up at regular intervals.
- With accurate process variable measurement guaranteed 24/7, unit operation and production time can be increased – thus extending the period between unit outages/shutdowns.
- Once installed, the Autorodder™ is a ‘set and forget’ device. There is little to no requirement for maintenance or repairs and no external servicing.
- Enables your field instrumentation to perform at its maximum potential.
- Rebuilds confidence in your pressure measurement system. When you put the Autorodder™ in place, you end up with clearer picture.
The Autorodder™ has been implemented in chemical plants throughout the USA, Europe, and India – including on sites operated by the world’s largest chemicals producer and manufacturer, BASF.
Proven to make plants more efficient, data more reliable and projects safer.
The only available automated solution to the manual rodding out process, the benefits of the Autorodder™ will be experienced from the ground up – from your plant’s Maintenance Technician right through to your Process Engineers and Unit Managers.
