Long-term Bussiness Success

Petrochemical

Lifetime Partnership
Long-term business success needs a long-term strategy. A long-term partnership with Yokogawa will help provide
the highest total value of ownership for automation solutions.

Three Decades of Compatibility

Consistency and long-term support are the hallmark of Yokogawa production control systems. From the very first
CENTUM system introduced in 1975 to the latest CENTUM VP system, Yokogawa policy ensures effective
migration and smooth evolution of your plant.

Long-life Product Stability

Our latest DPharp EJX series pressure transmitter exemplifies Yokogawa commitment to delivering state-of-theart yet field-proven solutions. Inheriting the DPharp full-digital silicon resonant sensor technology, the DPharp EJX
sets a new standard for DP measurement. In addition to its unique capability to measure both differential pressure
and static pressure, it is the worlds leading transmitter in accuracy, stability, and response time.
DPharp EJXs stability guarantee incorporates over-pressure effects as well as temperature and static pressure,
making it the worlds most reliable transmitter in field applications. As a clear testimony to its fundamentally
stability and fail-safe design, DPharp EJX is certified by TV as a safety integrity level 2 (SIL2) safety transmitter
without any options required.

Condition Based Maintenance Policy

Everyone understands corrective maintenance means not only higher maintenance costs but also a loss of
production. That is why preventive maintenance is one of the keys for maintenance and production efficiency.
There are two types of preventive measures: time based maintenance (TBM) and condition based maintenance
(CBM). In TBM, multiple equipment installed in one process unit are treated as one group, and maintained
together based on statistics reliability time-based theory. The advantage of TBM is it enables to minimize some
failures in advance and to plan maintenance schedule in advance. Its disadvantage is unnecessary maintenance
due to using the shortest statistics of reliability from safety point of view.
In comparison, the advantage of CBM is that it prevents performing excess maintenance by handling each
equipment individually. In CBM, individual equipment is monitored periodically throughout its lifecycle, and its
reliability is accurately judged by diagnostics.
Yokogawa develops advanced diagnostic technology for ideal CBM such as stress quantitative technology,
deterioration failure detection analysis and strength performance measurement. In the era of digital field networks,
such digital information provides accurate information to monitor equipment and to supply predictive diagnostics.
