Your economic decisions

Understand expenditure in its process context.

A fouled exchanger or an unsuitable pump can require more energy and maintenance. Connect spending to operating conditions to anticipate interventions and compare options alongside process safety requirements.

Process units

Maintenance and renewal of vessels and agitation systems.

Transfer & storage

Pumping costs and maintenance of transfer and storage systems.

Heat transfer

Energy, cleaning and refurbishment of heat exchangers.

Utilities

Spending on steam, compressed air and industrial water.

From rising steam use to a maintenance decision

Does the same product now take more steam?

Operations compares steam readings with tonnes processed, flow rate and temperatures at the exchanger inlet and outlet. The team compares production runs for the same product.

REX

What will each option cost over the next few runs?

In REX, your team brings together steam, cleaning and shutdown costs. It compares the cost of repeated maintenance with a quote to modify the exchanger, based on the same planned output.

Plan your process unit’s next shutdown.

Which exchanger needs cleaning more often? Let’s review its recent readings alongside your production schedule to compare the options.

  • Diagnostics

    Use operating conditions and cleaning records to explain a rise in steam use.

  • Investment studies

    Estimate modification costs against fluid and material requirements and the available shutdown window.
