Thursday, December 19, 2024

Application Overview

A leading energy and petrochemical company in Saudi Arabia, recognized globally for its extensive operations across offshore and onshore sites, sought to enhance its operational efficiency and safety standards. Renowned for its commitment to precision and reliability, the company constantly pursues innovative solutions to optimize processes and improve productivity.

The Challenge: Enhancing Pressure Monitoring and Reporting

The organization faced several challenges with its existing pressure monitoring systems:

• Limited Accuracy: The existing solutions failed to meet the precision required for critical applications.
• Cumbersome Equipment: Traditional pressure recorders were bulky and challenging to use in remote and hazardous environments.
• Lack of Modern Features: Older devices lacked the advanced features required for seamless operations in harsh conditions.
• Safety Concerns: Devices needed to meet stringent safety standards for hazardous zones, including Zone 0.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The company required a solution that offered advanced features without exceeding budget constraints.

The Solution: nVision Reference Recorder

To address these challenges, Haytham Rady, Calibration Products Manager at Naizak Global Engineering Systems, AMETEK’s distributor in Saudi Arabia, recommended the nVision Reference Recorder. Following comprehensive demonstrations and trials, the company procured several units for deployment across its offshore and onshore operations.

Key Advantages of the nVision Reference Recorder

1. Deadweight Tester Accuracy: Matches the precision of traditional deadweight testers, ensuring reliable pressure measurements.
2. Compact and Portable: Ideal for confined or remote areas due to its small size.
3. Remote Control Capability: Enhances usability in large-scale or hazardous operations.
4. Explosion-Proof Design: Certified for Zone 0 hazardous areas, meeting stringent safety requirements.
5. Integrated Pressure Recording: Eliminates manual data recording with advanced built-in capabilities.
6. Paperless Reporting: Streamlines compliance and record-keeping processes through digital reporting.
7. Cost-Effective: Provides a competitive total cost of ownership compared to traditional pressure recorders.

Results and Impact

• Improved Efficiency: Modern features and remote control capabilities increased operational efficiency.
• Enhanced Safety: Explosion-proof certification enabled safe integration into hazardous environments.
• Optimized Accuracy: Precise measurements ensured compliance with rigorous operational standards.

Encouraged by the initial success, the company is planning to expand its deployment of nVision units to additional sites.
