Lyondell Citgo Refinery is an oil refinery invested by American Leondell Chemical Company, which can process 268,000 barrels of super-heavy sour Venezuelan crude oil per day. Lyondell Chemical Company, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is the third largest independently publicly traded chemical company in North America.
Oil refineries are facing increasingly stringent government regulatory requirements due to their huge equipment and chemical processing characteristics (flammable and explosive, high temperature and high pressure, and the use and synthesis of a variety of hazardous chemicals). In order to ensure safe production, a large number of personnel must be arranged to conduct more detailed daily inspections and spot checks on the equipment, which will inevitably require more manpower.
However, in an environment of market competition, the profit target of a company makes the organization more and more streamlined, and the manpower is often stretched.
In addition to the increasingly complex and large-scale production equipment, there are more requirements for initial training and continuous training of on-site employees. Even if the company invests a lot of training costs, human errors still occur from time to time, which brings potential for safe production. Threat.
In order to solve the above contradictions, the refinery hopes to reduce on-site operation errors, improve on-site operation efficiency, and ensure the safe and efficient operation of equipment through new mobile operation information technology and necessary on-site PDA equipment.
After careful investigation, the refinery finally chose the “IntelaTrac® Mobile System and Decision Support System” from Wonderware, because:
Facts have proved that the product can recover all investment in 3-6 months. The successful case is very prominent. IntelaTrac® is a commercialized software and continues to develop, so that current and future needs can be met. The product is very flexible and usable. In any field of field operations.
All important indicators of the operation management of the process industry are closely related to on-site operations. IntelaTrac has built a “excellent production management” mobile execution platform IntelaTrac® that can interact with multiple back-end systems (EAM, historical database systems) and spot inspections. Equipment (testing instruments for temperature measurement, vibration measurement, displacement, etc.) and RFID technology are integrated. It is perfectly integrated with Aspen’s IP21 real-time database and SAP’s PM enterprise asset management software.
IntelaTrac® implementation benefits:
Ensure that on-site inspection tasks are completed on time and with quality, and meet the requirements of government and industry compliance audits. Improve the efficiency of on-site operations in machinery, electricity, and instrumentation, thereby improving productivity Expensive maintenance costs caused by emergency repairs, such as: directly reducing the cost of each maintenance work order by 30%, and extending the MTBF (mean time between failures) of the pump from 22 months to 42 months. Summarize and use the best operating procedures , Provide employees with real-time guidance and record the operating status of equipment on the job site, and promote reliability-centric maintenance analysis. IntelaTrac® has improved many on-site operations. It not only simplifies the work process of on-site data collection and reporting, but more importantly: When there is a problem on site, the system can prompt on the mobile terminal PDA which measures should be taken so that workers can make reasonable on-site operations. This new technology has essentially enhanced the ability of safe production management, and has been successfully applied in the following business areas:
Run inspection
Equipment inspection
HSE (safety and environmental protection) inspection
Device status detection
Electronic shift record
Asset tracking
Security check
Today, every day and every shift, hundreds of people in the factory are deeply aware of the effects of IntelaTrac®, including production personnel, maintenance technicians, instrument and electrical technicians, HSE personnel, supervisors, equipment reliability engineers, and IT Staff etc.
