Adding Value #26

Doing what we do best. When we are onsite we are always looking out for problems with control logic that is causing equipment problems. Here pump minimum flow control was not correctly set-up resulting in starting these high head pumps against a blocked discharge which causes seal failures.

Sketching out and solving other problems plaguing operations is another. Upsets in gas supply were causing large swings in flow to the cold plant. Detecting those upsets and recycling residue gas was an easy fix to keep things flowing smoothly.

Solving operational problems and optimizing performance / efficiency is what RCE’s expert process engineers do everyday!!!
