Valero Seeks Advanced Solutions For Improved Safety, Reliability

摘要

From drilling platforms to processing plants, the oil, gas and petrochemical industry operates in often harsh, demanding, dangerous and power-hungry conditions. Delivering the necessary power when and where it's needed is a challenge that is not simply a question of the economic loss that can result from overload or power outages. Just as important is the safety of crews working in highly powered environments. For example, something as simple as a dropped tool or accidental contact with electrical conductors can cause an arc flash event and instantaneously generate temperatures more than three times hotter than the sun.
