Tüpraş oil refinery, Turkey - Maximized operational security and minimized downtimes due to MMP
Tüpraş oil refinery, Turkey - Maximized operational security and minimized downtimes due to MMP
Oil & Gas
Tüpraş (Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri Anonim Sirketi)
İzmit Turkey
Well-designed plant management is essential for high plant availability. The key factors include predictable maintenance intervals, calculable maintenance costs and timely expert repairs. Siemens is the experienced company to contact for comprehensive products and solutions from a single source. That´s why Tüpras made the deliberate decision to commission Siemens to maintain 2,000 motors in the Izmir-Aliaga oil refinery. The customer services in Turkey have taken on the task of increasing motor availability and reducing unplanned downtimes, thereby ensuring stable production over the long term. A further objective is to reduce repair and maintenance costs.
Maintenance and repair of 1,500 motors at Tüpras Izmit and 2,000 motors at Tüpras Izmir refineries
Lowering maintenance costs and reducing downtimes
With the S-RCM and Siemens Motor Management Program (MMP), Siemens offers an economical efficient solution for maximizing plant availability, providing professional services for the entire lifecycle of the motors. In addition to insulation tests, this includes proactive and preventive maintenance. In the case of reconditioning and repairs, Siemens also rewinds the stator and rotor at one of its repair centers, as well as measuring, analyzing insulation and replacing bearings.
Systematic increase in plant availability: Siemens experts manage all maintenance and repair activities and also collect basic data such as serial numbers, series and year of manufacture or take photos for documentation purposes.
In the next step, we visually inspect the motors and - if necessary - perform initial evaluations such as insulation tests, surge and hipot tests, if necessary. The centerpiece of S-RCM and the Siemens MMP is a tool, that initiates condition monitoring and generates a maintenance plan.
Condition monitoring, reconditioning, repair and maintenance service for 3,500 motors over a period of 3 years.
Stationing of an engineer, 10 technicians and 1 health and safety engineer in the maintenance cycle of the Tüpras refinery for permanent overseeing.
S-RCM and Siemens MMP contribute significantly to the availability and efficiency of the Izmir Tüpras plant. Siemens improves the operational reliability of motors through professional care, which continues throughout the motors lifecycle, sustainably increasing operational life and reducing unplanned downtimes by 67 percent. By seamlessly monitoring the individual devices, our systematic Siemens MMP modules make it possible to schedule maintenance and downtimes. At the same time, the repair and reconditioning work performed by our experts minimizes the number of necessary repairs.
Sustainably increase efficiency: The services of the Siemens MMP are reducing repair and maintenance costs over the long term. By increasing motor availability and reducing unplanned downtimes, Siemens guarantees the stable operation of the refinery and minimizes production losses.
