关于客户
S-Chem is a pioneer in the production of petrochemical products based in Saudi Arabia. The company comprises three entities: Saudi Chevron Phillips Company (SCP), Jubail Chevron Phillips Company (JCP) and Saudi Polymers Company (SPCo). Together, these entities operate with the mission of safely producing reliable, optimal cost and high-quality products while exceeding customer, community and partner expectations. With an enterprise focus on operational excellence, S-Chem maintains its high standards and complies with regulatory requirements. The company continually looks for ways to innovate and improve its processes to mitigate the safety and environmental risks inherent in the petrochemical industry.
挑战
S-Chem, a pioneer in the production of petrochemical products based in Saudi Arabia, was looking for ways to innovate and improve its processes to mitigate the safety and environmental risks inherent in the petrochemical industry. One key area was managing the multi-step workflows involved with expanding existing operations or building new facilities. The company was relying on a cumbersome paper-based Management of Change (MOC) system to manage the complex workflows and multiple action items necessary to add new equipment or make other operational changes. The manual process was complex and time-consuming, with each MOC made up of six to nine steps, taking almost a whole day just to compile all the necessary data.
解决方案
S-Chem turned to the Sphera Operational Risk Solution as a means to automate, standardize and improve the MOC process. Initially, S-Chem used the solution only within the Process Safety department. Based on proven efficiency and accuracy gains, the company greatly expanded its use of Sphera’s Stature® software for managing MOC and related risk management processes. Today, hundreds of employees throughout the enterprise rely on the web-based solution as a centralized method of identifying and monitoring all of the steps, approvals and tasks involved with an operational change. The system also simplifies the process of tracking metrics related to MOCs, such as the percentage of MOCs that are fully compliant with procedures and the percentage of safe start-ups following changes.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
