John Crane Asset Management Solutions has secured a contract in the US to supply condition-based maintenance (CBM) services to an undisclosed oil refinery located in Texas.
To deliver the services mandated under the contract, the company will deploy personnel from its operational offices in Aberdeen and Pasadena, Texas, to the refinery.
John Crane Asset Management Solutions managing director John Morrison said: “This is a significant win for the company, expanding our business in the US.
“Our staff will be working closely with the plant’s personnel to build up knowledge and processes before moving on, thereby leaving a legacy where the plant can leverage best practice and continue to deliver business value.”
The company is engaged in developing a maintenance strategy to ensure cost-effective equipment operation and increased performance, based on the plant’s requirements.
Under the contract, John Crane will inspect the vibration and lubrication of equipment, assess conditions and data and make recommendations.
