Petrochemical plant boosts compressor efficiency with expert guidance
Burckhardt Compression (US) has successfully completed an 8‘000-hour overhaul on two Laby® compressors and provided guidance to a leading petrochemical company on essential parts to stock for maintaining operational efficiency. A major global energy company, operating a petrochemical plant in Western Pennsylvania, required the first regular service for its two Burckhardt Compression Laby® compressors.
These compressors are integral to the plant’s process of producing plastic pellets. Although the plant began operations two years ago, the compressors were purchased over four years ago. The plant reached out to our team not only for prompt and professional service but also for expert advice on critical parts to stock. We assist our customers with stock recommendations to ensure optimal operation and offer frame agreements for spare parts. Our primary focus is on supporting our customers to achieve operational efficiency,
maximum productivity, and the lowest lifecycle costs.
The team at Burckhardt Compression was exceptional. You proactively reached out to us and were there when we were ready to overhaul the compressors. Your support was critical to ensuring minimum downtime and maximum productivity.
