Examples of a manual rod-out tool
we manually rod out 6,000 times per year
there is one FCCU (cat cracker) spurious outage caused by faulty or incorrect measurement every year in continental US, and the minimum cost is 7 million USD
- Major oil refinery manager
- Global pressure transmitter manufacturer
until a blocked tap is cleared, we have to reduce process through put by up to 20%, and this can take up to 3-4 days- Refinery senior process controller
Click anywhere to proceedwe have 2-3 false high level pressure spike per month which trip out the units- Plant I&E engineer
CLEARGUARDExamples of a Autorodder installations
we have gone from 2-3 false high level pressure spike per month to none
- Plant I&E engineer
Another very positive thing we have found (design confirmed) using the Autorodder is it does not affect the (pressure) reading at all when it strokes
- Instrumentation supervisor
the Autorodder is a safe, economical solution to keeping tapping points clear on critical equipment
- Maintenance superintendent

- Production manager
