Case Study: Building the Refinery of the Future with IoT
By RTInsights Team | March 1, 2019
How one firm is building “the refinery of the future” by relying on predictive maintenance.
Name of Organization: Texmark Chemicals
Industry: Manufacturing
Location: Galena Park, TX
Opportunity or Challenge Encountered: The chemical processing industry, as is the closely related oil and gas refining sector, are extremely capital-intensive businesses, with huge inventories of physical assets and facilities, from pumps to pipelines connected to units, streams, and fluid systems.

While these plants lead the way with the latest technologies, they are usually slow in adopting digital approaches to monitoring operations, due to concerns about disrupting safety procedures. Texmark Chemicals sought to change this mindset, setting out on an ambitious quest to build the “Refinery of the Future” — a highly intelligent, integrated, and automated assembly of systems and people.

How this Opportunity or Challenge Was Met:  A key component of Texmark’s Refinery of the Future vision is predictive maintenance, enabled through advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, edge computing, and industrial Internet of Things (IoT),

The effort began with reviewing the refinery’s existing maintenance processes, which incorporated a combination of reactive maintenance, responding to an immediate asset outage; planned maintenance, performing updates on a routine schedule; and proactive maintenance, tending to certain pumps based on historical utilization patterns, according to a case study published by Deloitte.
