Case Study: a major oil & gas company reduces salt deposition risk with Seeq Corporation

Major Oil & Gas Company - Customer Case Study

Seeq Corporation helped a major oil & gas company address the risk of salt deposition in crude and FCC fractionator overheads and hydroprocessing effluent trains. The company needed a faster way to combine process historian data with lab results and identify operating periods where the unit was at risk, since manually pulling data from multiple unaligned systems was slow and cumbersome.

Using Seeq’s Workbench, Formula tool, Deviation Search, Histogram, and Journal, the company was able to calculate salt deposition temperatures, compare them against safe limits, filter out non-relevant operating periods, and present at-risk time as a continuous signal. Seeq Corporation enabled faster, more accurate analysis and real-time monitoring, helping the company reduce fouling-related downtime, avoid unplanned shutdowns, and better predict future failures that could otherwise cost millions in lost production.
