Petrochemicals
Imagine “… your steam cracker is not running reliably enough or you face chronic slowdowns or shutdowns and process safety incidents. Imagine a world where your cracker runs like Swiss clockwork, at maximum rates and economic optimum for at least 4-6 years uninterrupted. This world is within reach and we help you get there with our experts.”
