AMPO SERVICE SUPPORTS SUCCESSFULLY THE MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWN AT CHEVRON SALT LAKE CITY REFINERY

AMPO POYAM VALVES, a key global player in the downstream sector, continues to play a key role in critical refining processes. During the recent ISO Alkylation unit’s maintenance shutdown at the Chevron Salt Lake City Refinery (Utah, USA), AMPO SERVICE actively participated in servicing on-site support and successfully providing spare parts for several AMPO POYAM isolation valves that were provided in 2018. The Salt Lake City Refinery processes crude oil and other feedstocks and refines it into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), petroleum coke and sulfur.

Ensuring Long-Term Performance

Originally supplied in 2018, AMPO’s isolation valves have operated flawlessly for six years at the ISO Alkylation unit, performing effectively from one shutdown cycle to the next. Understanding the critical nature of these valves, AMPO SERVICE proposed its participation in the plant shutdown, reinforcing its commitment to long-term reliability.

AMPO POYAM VALVES’ solutions were tailored to this specific severe service application, incorporating special coatings, different material selections, and diverse valve designs to meet the unit’s stringent demands.

Key Contribution to the Shutdown

• Service Scope: During the shutdown, AMPO supported the maintenance of approximately 40 valves from an original installation of nearly 100 valves.
• On-Site Support: A dedicated team of two AMPO SERVICE field engineers was present throughout the shutdown, ensuring expert assistance and added value to the refinery’s valves maintenance team.

Commitment to Excellence

AMPO’s proactive approach and deep expertise in critical valve applications made a significant difference in this project. By ensuring that maintenance was handled by specialists with in-depth knowledge of the valves, AMPO SERVICE helped mitigate potential failures that could arise from improper servicing.

This successful collaboration not only highlights AMPO’s dedication to delivering high-performance solutions and services for the most challenging refinery environments, but also reinforces its position as a global leader in highly engineered valve solutions for the downstream sector. As refineries continue to demand exceptional reliability and expertise, AMPO remains a trusted partner for ensuring process efficiency and long-term success.
