ABB Engineering Services has a long established relationship with Petronas and has recently put in place an arrangement allowing Petronas to obtain call-off support for our suite of services, in a very quick and simple way. This work can be carried out if practical, in the UK or, where there is a real need, by travelling to Malaysia.
Two recent examples of work carried out under this contract are as follows:
- Advice on a contractor repair procedure for defects found in a set of pressure swing absorbers in an ammonia plant at Kerteh, Malaysia. The advice given was all provided from the UK via e-mail and required input from integrity management, materials and pressure systems consultants.
- Provision of a consultant to chair and lead a risk based review meeting looking at a novel design for a gas distribution system in a refinery. The meeting was held in the Petronas offices at Dayabumi in Kuala Lumpur.
The ABB asset integrity pRIME database was used to record the discussions during these reviews and record any actions required. The client was very pleased as the database allowed a draft hard copy of the review to be provided within a couple of hours of the conclusion of the review and hence met an important deadline for an internal Petronas meeting.
