Chemex Global ensures reliability is built into every project from the basic design package through to final detailed design and procurement. Following the commissioning and startup of a project, we can offer to gather data to help build a risk-based inspection strategy per API 580 guidelines. Our designs routinely incorporate vibration monitors and corrosion tracking devices that help monitor and collect performance data. Our team’s extensive experience in operation of process equipment and facilities guides us in what to look for, where to find issues, and how to fix problems so that customers can operate longer and with less downtime.
Maintenance programs are the ongoing care of projects after they are up and running to ensure operators are protecting the reliable working order of their investment. Both preventative and predictive maintenance are carefully planned activities with specific timelines and use methods such as API-510 inspections or corrosion control programs. Our team can help develop maintenance schedules to keep your process equipment in the best working order and lesson the likelihood of failures. If a failure occurs, Chemex Global can offer a variety of support resources including advisory services, procurement of needed parts and maintenance crews.
Chemex Global is also well versed in turnarounds, revamps or debottlenecking of facilities. We offer end-to-end support services anytime a facility needs to be taken off stream for large maintenance initiatives, troubleshooting or production optimization projects. Our team knows how to meticulously plan for these types of events and can provide engineering and schedules well in advance of the event to ensure required parts, equipment and personnel are available during the outage. Our team knows how to keep downtime to a minimum and how to ensure the facility is again performing well beyond the original design or challenge when brought back on stream.
