Driving Operational Excellence in Oil Gas Sector ETHYDCO Innovative Pi System Integration

The Petro-chemicals industry is a special industry. All transactions and data processes must be comprehensively managed. Such includes reliable equipment, if it is a failure not only cost money (maintenance man hours or Spare parts inventory) but also the maintenance downtime of the job rates directly impacts production and reflects on company sales. Saving energy: Sources from operation systems that generate energy (E.g., Steam, fuel gas, heat transfer) decrease the amount wasted as long as they are cycled back together (or treated). Thus, energy utilization can be decreased in all respects. Human safety and compliance A data management system that is not a real-time insight platform or intelligent All this inevitably leads to a potential increase in the operator's operational costs (maintenance, etc.). A leader in the Egyptian petrochemical industry, ETHYDCO is committed to achieving operational excellence and thus retaining its competitive edge in this field. Its strategies include raising the level of productivity, saving some energy costs, decreasing overall operating costs, and adopting cutting-edge technologies which led to efficiency gains over time as well as promoting sustainable development. To address these issues, ETHYDCO has adopted the PI System, an industry-proven performance monitoring system. The strengths of the PI System are in wide data collection and acquisition possibilities, real-time storage of data from different sources and constant data analysis that may help to monitor operations, detect the signs of wear out facilities and equipment, and thus may help in decision making process.
