Audit to Optimize
Process systems audit and optimization service
Optimize or upgrade your facility with tailored recommendations.
Process Live service is the software-as-a-service digital solution that maximizes electrostatic desalting and dehydrating performance and reliability.
Electrostatic crude oil dehydrators and desalters are widely used onshore and offshore to lower basic sediment and water (BS&W) and pounds of salt per thousand barrels (PTB) from crude oil; however, maximizing electrostatic performance of these flexible, compact systems depends on manual intervention by operations personnel to optimize performance.
If the electrostatic desalter is not optimized, the result is overspending on demulsifier dosing, heat, freshwater, and accelerated refinery catalyst poisoning, which add to the operational expenses required to meet outlet specifications and avoid contractual penalties or loss of throughput.
There is a high price for loss of reliability and throughput. The Process Live service lets you proactively manage power unit reliability with prognostic health monitoring and to identify critical events. Electrical system feedback allows proactive maintenance of the power unit and the treater.
