Jari Marci
Practice Lead Technical Design & Operations Efficiency
Since its founding in 2015 Petrogenium has delivered more than 250 projects to their clients.
Our experts support Asset owners in their daily Operations challenges such as plant troubleshooting, unit performance reviews, fouling and corrosion behaviour, catalyst performance and cycle length planning challenges and solving general remote helpdesk questions.
In conceptual design we help Asset Owners with design reviews, feasibility studies, process simulation (using our ProII model), process control and dynamic simulation covering most of process units in refinery and petrochemical plants.
Our experts have worked in refineries and petrochemical plants in similar process technology, plant engineer and leadership roles as you are in now. As such there is no learning curve, and it helps you to focus directly on the problem and work-out jointly to a solution.
