As global demand for liquified natural gas continues to grow, LNG producers are under intense pressure to increase production while still maintaining utmost safety for both workers and the environment. Added to that, the LNG industry is one of the most technologically advanced of all of the energy businesses with processes and the assets that aid those operations expected to perform reliably 24/7. Anything else is simply unacceptable.
That's where Bently Nevada comes in. Since 1964, Bently Nevada has been helping customers in the LNG industry achieve their production and safety goals, which is why you will find our hardware and software solutions at fixed plants and on vessels everywhere you look in LNG. In fact, 70 out of 85 LNG plants in operation today have Bently Nevada products in service. No company has that enduring legacy of quality and trust and none can claim more knowledge about the processes and machinery critical to your success.
The Benefits of a Bently Nevada Plant Reliability Solution
Closing the gap between your reliability “goals” and what you are actually obtaining from your current efforts typically involves three key impact areas:
Processes: Our comprehensive services help customers assess their goals, identify the reliability gaps in their current operations, and then implement the appropriate corrective actions.
Tools: The Bently Nevada product line is world-renowned for unsurpassed quality in machinery condition monitoring. Everything needed to address the assets used in an LNG plant is available, from sensors to continuous monitoring systems to wireless sensor systems to portable data collectors and analyzers. And, it’s all brought together in a unified platform for asset condition monitoring and diagnostics—Bently Nevada’s System 1† software. We also assist customers in integrating and using their already installed tools, such as computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and reliability software.
People: Reliability is about more than just technologies and processes. Even with the most sophisticated tools and effective strategies, companies can fail to reach their reliability goals unless they are able to successfully change the way they work. Reliability is a company-wide effort that touches operations, maintenance, planning and scheduling, purchasing, management, and engineering. Bently Nevada is able to help customers change the way they work by addressing the organizational culture issues that keep companies trapped in ineffective processes, helping them transform their plant operations and reach new heights of process quality.
Because Bently Nevada is able to fully address each one of these, we are able to solve the whole problem—not just bits and pieces.
