Smart Plants

The smart plants solution takes advantage of the smart equipment modules in order to manage the plant performance for increased safety and asset availability. Besides, it takes into account the interaction of events between different equipment. Take a look at the top five complex events for each smart plant.

Top 5 complex events

Smart Continuous Catalytic Reforming Unit

  • 1. Sudden drop in RON
  • 2. Fluctuations in naphta feed quality
  • 3. Shift in burn zone temperature profile
  • 4. Inadequate recycle gas to feed ratio
  • 5. Debutanizer loss of control

Smart Sulfur Recovery Unit

  • 1. Poor sulfur conversion
  • 2. Inadequate acid gas to air ratio
  • 3. Low first reactor feed temperature
  • 4. High deposits in catalyst bed
  • 5. Waste heat boiler tube leak

Smart Crude Distillation Unit

  • 1. Flooding in crude column
  • 2. Off-spec naphta
  • 3. Low naphta production
  • 4. High flaring from crude unit overhead separator
