All forms, checklists, and signatures can be logged electronically. And, most importantly, it delivers the plant operator real-time data on the integrity of his facility.

 

Customers can buy or license the software themselves, or have KLINGER manage the software on their behalf. On-site specialists are available for every aspect of the system life cycle, for design and installation only, or even as permanent plant personnel for clients who need continuous monitoring and on-demand repairs.

 

Safe people, safe plant, safe environment

High-end products, exhaustively trained specialists, state-of-the-art software and industry-leading testing and procedures all play a role in this safety-­centric, eco-friendly process.

The SENTRY gasket is one of those high-performing products. It can maximize plant uptime, reduce emissions, and increase efficiency.

Another star performer of KLINGER’s green product line, the EcoSeal gasket, is the newest member of this team. The tightest spiral wound gasket the company has ever produced, the low emission EcoSeal can play a key role in tracking plant emissions. KLINGER United Kingdom developed fugitive emissions testing data for the entire EcoSeal product line, which provides customers with the hard numbers they need to determine plant emissions and set green ratings goals. Combined with the Integrity Services leak-free guarantee, this system ensures that customers will be able to meet the stringent emissions standards set by the United Kingdom.

Employee training is another aspect of this winning combination. KLINGER’s Integrity Services team members all meet expert qualifications, have passed a skills test, and look back on at least five years of experience in the industry. Subject-matter experts on system design, joint integrity, flange face machining, and pipeline management are only a few of the available options. Integrity Services personnel are also available to serve as QA & QC representatives, assessing critical valves in the system before taking the plant back online. Further, ECITB, EN1591, and ASME PCC1 joint integrity training are available to give customer staff the tools and knowledge they need to maintain the system. KLINGER’s expert workforce offers our clients an invaluable, competent resource to support their assets during peak periods such as shutdowns and construction projects.
