QUANTIFIED BUSINESS RESULTS

Petronas Ammonia Syngas Doubled Uptime


Petronas Ammonia Syngas of Malaysia had adopted Fisher® Digital Valve technology to take advantage of its online diagnostics capabilities.

Previously, a 24-day shutdown period was necessary after every 18-month cycle of operations. The shutdown period is used to maintain, repair and replace plant equipment. 


By using Fisher’s online diagnostics, control valve performance was sustained, such that the plant operating period was extended from 18 months to 36 months between shutdowns.

This means that Petronas Ammonia Syngas gains 24 more days of operation every 36 months.

It has been estimated that each day of shutdown would cost the company US$265,000. Thanks to Fisher® Digital Valves, the plant now enjoys 24 more days of production, which adds up to over US$6 million.
