New build or retrofit?
Not every plant that’s getting on in years needs replacing. Often an update in the right place is enough – planned, inside the shutdown window, with no extra downtime.
Don’t wait for something to break
For plants that are slowly getting on in years but still work well in principle, retrofit and modernisation measures during a planned shutdown are often worthwhile. In other words: don’t wait for a failure before you react – use the time windows that regular shutdowns provide anyway! That saves time and money – and builds optimisation seamlessly into existing processes.
The advantages:
Faster to implement than a new build
Often less resource-intensive than full replacement
Modernisation can be carried out during shutdowns or built into maintenance cycles – which reduces downtime
Retrofit Plus: a technical upgrade instead of mere maintenance
Greater energy efficiency
Optimised processes and product quality
Integration of up-to-date control technology
Groundwork for future expansion
A longer service life for the plant
Is a retrofit worth it for your plant?
We’ll take a look at what can be renewed and what can stay. I look forward to hearing from you:
