Petrochemical Industry
Keeping petrochemical operations running smoothly, 24/7. Opus empowers on-site personnel at remote locations with instant access to critical maintenance parts, minimising downtime and maximising production efficiency.
The Petrochemical industry is a vital sector which derives chemical products from petroleum and natural gas to then make other products, including plastics, detergents, solvents, fertilisers, synthetic fibres, rubbers and other materials.
With the need for raw material inputs, production facilities are located near to oil and gas sources in Grangemouth, Hull, North West, Southampton and Teesside.
The products it produces are then used to create many consumer products, packing materials and components, critical to many other manufacturing industries.
It is estimated that the UK Petrochemical industry has a value of £15bn with a large proportion exported and employs tens of thousands of people.
Challenges
A variety of inputs are needed into the Petrochemicals process to produce its products, such as additives and chemicals, in addition the need for PPE and safety equipment is vital. The logistics of managing deliveries through supply chains and storing the right quantities of items in the right places with systems for reordering are vital.
Petrochemical processing plans are complex by nature with many linked elements and the hazardous nature of both the operation and substance used requiring a laser focus on safety to prevent leaks and accidents. As a result there is heightened focus on maintenance to minimise risk and keep the process running safely. Additionally constant modernisation for both efficiency and sustainability leads maintenance and upgrades.
