DESIGN AND BUILD DELIVERY, INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
COMBINING ENGINEERING AND EXPERTISE FINAL STEPS FROM CHECKING TO COMMISSIONING
Once the Systems team is briefed,
we confirm the most compatible
gas analysis technology for the
customer's application, and
consider the optimum design to
the optimal best solution for
the customer.
For example, for analyzer systems
designed for operation in the
Gulf Coast region of Texas and
Louisiana, our risk assessment
accounts for high temperatures
during the summer – and cool
temperatures in the winter.
Ambient temperature controls
within our analyzer system
would be part of the design.
Process temperatures are also
a consideration to prevent
unwanted condensation in the
sample lines and/or a dual phase
system. There are various methods
used to control temperature
within the analyzer systems
depending on the size and scope
of the project, i.e. HVAC, vortec
coolers, to mention a few. These
methods are typically used in
enclosures and shelters.
Accessibility is critical and
Servomex has different
technologies and system
configurations to help plant
engineers and technicians.
Analyzers can be mounted in
different configurations depending
on the sample tap location, such as
the anaylzer is at the sample point,
transmitter is at the sample point
but the controller at grade in a
convenient location, transmitter and
controller is at grade on a panel,
inside an enclosure or a shelter.
The application requirements and
specifications are fully reviewed,
then a design and bill of material
are produced, typically within two
to three weeks of the purchase.
Following the assembly of the system, an internal system test is always performed. This is closely followed
by a scheduled Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for the complete system: a focused, collaborative process
between our Systems team and the customer, often taking several days and encompasses a 100% vetting
of the complete solution. After the FAT, the minor punch list items, usually tags, are cleared and an as built
package is put together by document control and the project team over the next two weeks.
The finished system is then shipped to site. This is where Servomex’s global Service Network gets involved,
providing commissioning, personnel training and other installation support. This ensures the system is
delivered to specification, on time.
Servomex's experienced,
highly trained field
service engineers
ensure that the system
is correctly installed,
calibrated and performing
to specifications.
“Creating a system is a big job, but that’s what we do. The
most satisfaction is to see the total solution system in the
plant, with everything interconnected and working. We’ve
taken something from initial concept, brought it into the
plant, and now it’s up and running, the customer is satisfied
and is coming back to our team for future applications –
that is the best part for us.”

All drawings and
documents are reviewed
by the customer until the
design is agreed. A detailed
bill of materials, specifying
the key components of
the system, is finalized
following the review.
The Systems team then purchases
all the required material and
components, including analyzers.
Around the third or fourth month
of the project, this equipment
should be ready for engineering
to shift focus to the workshop.
Both engineering and shop
integration work of the systems
take place at one of Servomex's
regional centers. This ensures
customers are paired with a team
that’s easy to reach and takes
into account any regional issues
or challenges.

This can include meeting regional
environmental legislation
requirements, as well the safety
and regulatory requirements.
The collaboration and
communication between
Servomex and the customer
doesn’t stop once the
consultation phase is over. We
continue to provide progress
reports throughout the process,
even while we’re building it.
Typically, the build process begins
with sub-assemblies such as
pressure reducing stations and
associated panels. For larger
systems, further assembly work
on enclosures and sampling
systems can be carried out ahead
of the arrival of the shelter.
For larger projects such as
shelters, the sub-assemblies,
panels and enclosures are
mounted and installed on the
walls of the shelter as well as
installation of the electrical
system(s), gas analysis
equipment and HVAC.
