Axens can dispatch a team of experienced advisors to the site who provide a complete and detailed inspection of the units and associated equipment to ensure the construction conformity to our original Process Design Package.
A first load of catalyst / adsorbent is delivered on site. Axens’ advisors ensure the supervision of the on-site catalyst / adsorbents loading with specific assistance such as the Axens Catapac™ dense loading services.
Pre Start-up training is essential to gain a thorough understanding of the Unit operation before first start-up. This training ,is a unique opportunity that cannot be missed to collect all technical information for a smooth start-up and an optimized operation. The pre-start-up training package includes classroom and simulator sessions and could be complemented with similar plant sessions carried out on Partners’ site.
A team of experts will be on site at the critical stages of the client’s project: catalysts activation, fresh feed-in, unit tuning and stabilization, performance tests, etc. At the end, the client unit is efficiently running at full capacity meeting all the guarantees.
Axens is fully committed to be a reliable long time partner who provides assistance during the entire unit lifecycle, including support to operation optimization, troubleshooting, feeds and products analysis. Our Connect'In® is an example of the 24/7 support that Axens can offer. This digital application, designed to enhance operational excellence of our clients, leverages high-speed data networks, cloud-based systems, and advanced data techniques to monitor and optimize operating assets in real-time.
To optimize the unit’s performances, conduct troubleshooting and feeds/products analysis, Axens provides assistance either regularly or on-request, either remotely or on-site. Depending on the required assistance, Our Tech advisors are dispatched to the site to evaluate the operation and propose a strategy to recover or improve performance. Furthermore, digital tools such as Connect’In® can support online the set of Tech Services for unit operation follow-up and optimization.
Axens’ margin improvement studies encompass all technical and economic factors to provide clear directions for easy and rapid deployment of margin improvement programs.
Revamping can significantly help readjust the refinery product slate and maximizing the value of existing assets. Axens offers a pragmatic approach to help operators to select the best revamp scheme for their unit.
Relying on a reliable expertise to anticipate the unit end of cycle/life, Axens delivers on-time the reloads of product in order to meet with the unit shut-down requirements. Our Tech Services advisors provide on-site support to optimize transient operations as per standard operating guidelines.
Based on Unit follow-up and thorough behavior analysis, and dedicated for both new comers and experienced staff, Refresher trainings are essential for enhancing engineers and operators’ skills while unit is in operation.
As a process licensor and catalyst supplier, Axens has first-hand knowledge of the best strategies for implementation of APC projects. APC provided by Axens ensures robust control, increases process operation stability and allows operators to reach the economical optimum yield through unique services and applications.
