INTECH’s Control Loop Optimization Services to be extended to more process areas at downstream facility in Nigeria
INTECH’s Control Loop Configuration Services were instrumental in achieving enhanced operational and maintenance efficiencies at a major downstream facility in Nigeria and now are going to be extended to more process areas.
The client, a major global oil and gas company, was facing multiple process upsets due to non-optimum process control loop configuration while having trouble with simple and cascaded loops monitoring on its assets at the facility. INTECH, already an established name in Nigeria due to its excellent business record and business relations in the regional oil and gas industry, was approached to resolve the loop configuration issues which were adversely affecting operational and maintenance efficiencies.
Broadly, INTECH’s scope of work will include:
- Resolving Loop data integration issues from Control System OPC Server
- Configuration of PID Loops for multiple Units for up to ~700 PID Loops to enable Loop Performance Assessment
- Generate Post-Assessment Diagnostics, Identification of under-performing loops with Diagnosis and possible corrective actions
- Generating recommended tuning parameters from Tuning software using various simulations
- Prepare Summary Report of Loop Assessment and Results
- End User Orientation for long-term bad actor management for worst process control areas
INTECH will use its offices in Port Harcourt as the lead execution office for this project.
With INTECH’s solution in place, the client will be able to readily pin-point poorly performing loops requiring immediate action; thereby focusing and prioritizing, according to criticality of loop, its maintenance efforts on problematic process areas. Consequently, the costs of corrective maintenance will be significantly reduced while appropriate loop configuration will enable the client to enhance production efficiencies.
