La auditoría de rendimiento y la limpieza-in-situ han convencido a los más escépticos, que han acabado rindiéndose ante la evidencia del ahorro
Alfa Laval recomendó una auditoría de rendimiento a uno de los mayores fabricantes mundiales de etileno; el objetivo era saber con exactitud si sus once intercambiadores de calor de placas de otra marca necesitaban una limpieza. Por entonces la empresa era, como poco, escéptica. Cuatro años y cientos de miles de euros ahorrados después, está más que convencida.

When Alfa Laval first approached the Arabian Gulf petrochemical giant, they performed manual cleaning of their seawater coolers on a yearly basis. This was expensive, time consuming and caused unnecessary wear and tear on gaskets and plates.
Alfa Laval Performance Audit enables efficient Cleaning Services
Alfa Laval suggested Performance Audit to collect and analyze data on the actual operating conditions and determine how clean the plates were without opening the units. The analysis would also be able to indicate whether cleaning should be performed with Cleaning-in-Place or manually.
Initially, the company thought it sounded too good to be true – particularly since the units were supplied by another manufacturer. We knew it wasn’t too good to be true, and we set out to prove it.” SAMER TYBA, ALFA LAVAL SERVICE, SAUDI ARABIA AND BAHRAIN
Extended Performance Agreement is proof of a 100% convinced customer
The company quickly noticed increased uptime and more efficient cooling. The cleaning time was reduced from 150 man hours to 24 by switching from manual cleaning to CIP. They were also able to ensure that the units were in good condition before the critical summer period.
Maintenance costs drop drastically
In addition, the company’s maintenance budget dropped drastically since implementing Cleaning-in-Place instead of using manual cleaning. Pleased with the results, the company renewed its agreement with Alfa Laval several times.
