Emerson
Process Solutions’ Hydrocarbon and Energy Industry Center
provides instrumentation maintenance services to several large
chemical plants in the province of Alberta, including NOVA Chemicals
(NOVA) in Joffre and Dow Chemicals (Dow) in Fort Saskatchewan.

| The
Project Challenge |
| Safety is critical
to our chemical plant clients. To ensure a safe and efficient operating
environment, day-to-day maintenance and operational support is mandatory.
At certain operational phases, such as a plant turnaround, base crew
personnel must be supplemented with qualified technicians who understand
the equipment and processes. During this time, operating units require
measurement and instrumentation support and staffing requirements
fluctuate. A request for additional personnel must be filled quickly
with people who have the correct blend of skills, attitude, and experience
to work well with existing staff.. |
| |
|
| |
The
Solution |
|
| |
Since the late 1970s, we’ve had successful, long-term relationships
with both NOVA and Dow. Our service is based on understanding the
changing needs of the plant environment. Our highly skilled control
technicians and engineers provide operational support for varied and
unique control systems |
|
| We are proactive
in searching for ways to improve performance. Our creative commercial
term solutions demonstrate that we understand the challenges that
customers face on a daily basis. |
| We’ve developed
a number of in-house engineering tools to assist in meeting our customers’
requirements. These include a skills database containing over 3,000
resources, a field service tool that allows us to assess manpower
requests and determine the type of people required to perform specific
tasks, and our Commissioning Document Assistant (CDA). |

The
Process |
|
| |
When a request
is received for qualified staff, whether it is to supplement a base
crew or provide coverage for a turnaround or outage, we respond quickly.
We provide a single point-of-contact to assist plant personnel in
defining when additional resources are needed and the position or
scope of work required. Once a search for personnel is initiated,
we fulfill all aspects of the request and deliver the technician or
engineer directly to the site.
|
|
| |
We work closely
with operating plant personnel and provide our technical staff with
access to engineering expertise and ongoing technical support.
