SILOXA services for seamless operation of your plant
Many successful plant operators have already discovered the benefits of SILOXA’s comprehensive services. We ensure an optimally maintained gas treatment plant with consistently high efficiency.
During and after installation
Inspection of on-site installation and start-up
A typical installation consists of completion of setup, integration into the gas flow, and connection of supply and disposal lines. Working closely with our clients, we not only conduct an on-site close inspection of all the preliminary work, but we also support our clients when their installation is taken into operation for the first time.
Support during start-up phase
After successful startup, gas being is processed through the plant for thermal utilization. Together with our clients, we will set-up a service schedule, where SILOXA service technicians will visit your plant to check performance parameters and make adjustments for optimization if necessary.
Staff training
Using the installations documentation, SILOXA service technicians will train the plant’s operating staff. The training covers startup after planned interruptions, minor maintenance, and addressing small issues.
Telephone support during installation and start-up
If issues arise, SILOXA provides telephone support, during agreed service hours, to the trained operating staffs. With our professional assistance, problems are quickly identified, diagnosed, and resolved.
During the warranty and operational phase
Maintenance and service contracts
Gas treatment plants are not only subject to specific regulations, but only a properly maintained plant can achieve high efficiency and operate with minimal risk.
Our recommendation is therefore professional maintenance, at regular intervals, as this will simplify working with regulatory authorities, trade associations, and TÜV. With correctly maintained records or logs, your plant inspections will become straightforward and hassle-free.
SILOXA offers two types of services agreement: a straight-forward maintenance contract, or our comprehensive all-inclusive service contract. The latter not only includes our standard maintenance services, but also our comprehensive maintenance services at regular intervals.
Compressor maintenance
Depending on the manufacturer, ATEX regulations require that compressors undergo professional maintenance every two years, in order to maintain ATEX certification. Compressors can be serviced by SILOXA, either on-site at your plant, or in our service workshop. This is depending on the supplier as well as the size of the unit (including spare parts).
Spare parts inventory
SILOXA offers plant operators specified inventory of customized spare parts packages, tailored to the specific wear and tear factors and lead times of their clients components. This ensures a quick response to components failures.
