Oil & Gas
TÜPRAŞ GENEL MÜDÜRLÜK
Kocaeli Turkey
Tüpraş uses a variety of motors in its processes. The motors have been used for the production process of detergents under harsh conditions for 10 years. As part of the customer's motor management program, it was determined that the customer wanted to increase the long-term availability of one of its explosion-proof motors. Therefore, the customer wanted Siemens to provide a suitable retrofit solution for one of its existing and very old Loher motors.
Siemens service experts proposed to replace the old motor with new, state-of-the-art explosion-proof SIMATICS XP 1MB1 series IE3 motor.
SIMATICS XP, the
consistent platform for explosion protected motors represents the
reliable, easy and fast way to achieve maximum safety. This motor series
covers all hazardous zones - 1, 2, 21 and 22 - with a technologically
seamless concept.
Operational reliability over a long time period
Long-term availability of spare parts
Increased efficiency
Minimized energy consumption
Tüpraş is the largest oil refinery in Turkey, generating 15 billion euros p.a. with 28 million tonnes of crude oil operating capacity, spreaded to four locations.
