Situation:
Storage tank terminals and refineries are expecting a strong increase of inspection and maintenance efforts for the coming decades. Many asset integrity assessors and operators are going to retire.
Solution:
The Falcker asset care platform helps to monitor tank deficiencies and degradation and optimize maintenance planning
Why: the platform provides quantitative insight to:
- Increase asset availability
- Improve people and environment safety
- Improve inspection and maintenance processes
- Reduce inspection costs and increase the efficiency of inspectors
- Enable compliant asset management
How: the way we work:
- We digitize the assets and create the so-called “digital twins” in the Falcker Digital Asset Care Platform.
- We use sensors and robotics to obtain inspection data. This ensures more frequent and consistent inspections to facilitate optimal planning.
- The generated data is “mapped” with the digitized asset components, which makes it possible to predict maintenance needs.
What: products & services
- Falcker Digital Asset Care Platform software subscriptions (assets, users, data usage)
- Software and hardware implementation for automated data collection
- Asset integrity monitoring:
- Visual inspections
- Second containment volume
- Degradation measurements
- (Gas)emission measurements
- Geometrical analysis
Benefits for our customers:
- More efficient and predictable inspection (management) and maintenance processes
- Safer asset inspection (less Atex zone 1 hour – working at height)
- Improved data quality, integrity and compliance
- Increased asset availability: better scoping, reduce downtime, less unexpected
- Potential overall cost reduction of 30%
