PAST AND PRESENT CLIENTS
Portfolio
Reliabix Analytics have often taken on the toughest of challenges. As a result we have had no choice but to understand all elements of a pumping system from not just the mechanical but hydraulic, electrical, process and instrumentation perspectives. When we have been helping clients we are often mistaken for electrical engineers, process engineers and even control system experts. This unique combination has allowed us to attend any client site and very quickly develop an understanding that allows us to consider all elements of a system no matter the type of industry from energy to mining to petrochemical without changing resources, essentially, we speak many engineering languages. Coupled with our industry leading expertise in Industrial IoT and what is actually needed to execute the IoT system at the plant level, we have been assisting individuals and businesses in defining and fulfilling their overall digitalization objectives for more than 10 years. We have worked with industry-leading clients, and earned a strong reputation as Pump System Experts.
Gorgon Project
Innovative Chemical Injection Packages
From the description of a challenge, to the delivery of a package in full compliance with all project specifications, we designed, planned and created solutions to inject waste water into wells, and provide chemical injection packages designed for easy maintenance and accessibility. Some of the more challenging concepts started as a hand sketch during a meeting, and the final result turned into a total of 45 modules sent to the Barrow Island site. As the principal project engineer, this is where we got our grounding in instrumentation, electrical, safety, human factor and control engineering.
Geothermal Power Station Upgrade
Modernization Without Stopping
An older geothermal power plant had 24 Pentane Feed pumps generating energy off the steam exhaust of larger turbines. Removing the control valves and converting to advanced speed control, we lead all elements of the project from feasibility to commissioning. The largest challenge was to keep the plant running whilst interconnecting a modern VFD to the original control system. No documentation was available for the existing installation, so planning and tracing was critical and overall completed successfully. The bonus result for the end user, was that the plant generated 30% more energy savings than anticipated after we fine tuned the system and optimized the operation. The resulting reliability has seen further improvements to the profitability of the plant in the subsequent years.
Health Assessments
Professional Guidance
Many clients have situations where they are just putting out spot fires, with only enough time to barely keep the plant producing. The unplanned downtimes and failures cause resources at site to be stretched to the limit and justifying more headcount can be difficult as production is dropping. By coming into site, looking at all the asset operating conditions, reviewing vibration, pressures, flows, etc, Reliabix Analytics are able to very quickly rank all assets from best to worst. Aligning this with client experience allows actions to be implemented that can make immediate impacts, solutions have been as simple as re-doing an alignment to pinching a discharge valve to prevent run-out. Stabilizing the operating system allows planned maintenance to be carried out with minimal impact to operations.
