The Total Value of the CASE Services

The CASE services are about solving problems. By working closely with customers, we learn about the challenges they face in their facilities. This knowledge enables us to follow a scientific approach while developing instrument solutions for their applications, ensuring the one we deliver fully meets their needs. It also helps us support our customers if and when something fails.

If required, we provide instrument audits, which involve reviewing and analyzing existing temperature and pressure instruments. Once all instrumentation is reviewed and analyzed, we provide full documentation detailing each instrument’s current performance, potential problems, and appropriate solutions for optimal productivity and safety.

In addition to reviewing your application, identifying your instrument requirements and restrictions, and recommending products tailored to your needs, our Critical Application Solutions Experts services provide:

For customized testing, we recreate your process and process conditions in our CASE engineering lab to determine and/or verify product quality and performance.

The customer: A refinery with a hydrofluoric acid (HF) alkylation unit—also referred to as an “HF Alky” unit. These units are used in petroleum refining operations to convert isobutane and alkenes (primarily propylene or butylene) into alkylate, which is used to make gasoline.

The problem: Hydrofluoric acid is hazardous and corrosive and, if accidentally released, can form a vapor cloud that causes severe reactions and possible fatalities.

The CASE diagnosis: After visiting the plant, reviewing the application, and performing on-site analysis of the gauge in use, Ashcroft recommended a gauge assembly with additional safety features for improved protection.

The CASE solution: The gauge assembly we recommended to the customer featured the ALD (Acid Leak Detection) system. Its key benefits include:

  • Tamper proof design with the gauge welded to the seal
  • Visual indication of leaking process media
  • Dual containment for safety
