Key Takeaways
Chemours moved from monthly checks to monitoring with Asset Performance Management software.
The solution helps them track the performance of their pumps and plan for maintenance outages.
Based on Chemours’ experience, near-real-time monitoring helped reduce downtime from approximately 12 hours to approximately 2 hours at their facility.
The technology helps reduce guesswork and supports safer operations.
High-pressure Operations With Glycolic Acid
Chemours is a major global specialty chemicals manufacturer. Two of their pumps operate at very high pressures, where equipment reliability is essential for safety. Their previous process was geared around a monthly check and relied on educated guesswork to identify faults in the system.
The team recognized that greater certainty about equipment status could further support process efficiency and worker safety.
Supporting Safer, More Efficient Operations With Asset Performance Management
Honeywell's Asset Performance Management software provides Chemours with monitoring capabilities that help them track pump performance in near real-time. The software is designed to help detect signs of potential component issues, supporting a shift from reactive to proactive maintenance planning.
They estimate that this shift has helped reduce maintenance downtime from approximately 12 hours to approximately two and support their efforts toward safer operations. The Honeywell system has become their primary tool for smarter, more efficient maintenance operations.
