Deployment in ExxonMobil Operating plants and research sites • Purchase in small quantities • Can accept some risk by maintaining existing sample system as backup • Able to test ideas, components Major projects • Large quantities purchased • Risk averse / use proven designs only • Can take most advantage of standard designs • Engineering cost savings • first duplicate design saves more than 50% of the engineering cost • Manufacturing cost savings • first duplicate construction saves 10-20% of labor due to repetitive tasks
Deployment in ExxonMobil Multiple sites using modular components today • Gas and liquid streams, up to diesel • Superior performance to traditional designs: easier maintenance, fewer leaks • Smaller surface area, less absorption effects • Faster reconfiguration to new processes A major project in Asia Pacific will have Gen I and proven Gen II technology • Will use modular technology on all streams where it has been shown to work at our plant sites (>95% of applications; >200 systems) • Will use Gen. II components and connectivity, assuming testing is successful Testing of Siemens Gen II systems is underway • Tests to be run on process streams, important applications • SAAI supplying these systems in support of project work • Testing of the modular sample system concept is complete at ExxonMobil: NeSSITM is a success • Current work is focused on migration to NeSSITM Generation II systems
