Start-up & commissioning for sampling and analyser systems
Assurance of a smooth and continuous operation in the field
- On-site support by dedicated KROHNE engineers
- Consultancy during the implementation of systems with KROHNE and non-KROHNE products
- Site acceptance testing (SAT) to verify the system is working as per end-user requirements
Although a complete FAT is carried out before delivery, it is usual to have a service engineer on-site during commissioning and start-up. Being expert in analysis, sampling and also metering, KROHNE engineers can combine start-up and commissioning with on site calibration, potential troubleshooting and operator training.
Our dedicated systems engineers have followed specific training programs for the integration of third-party instruments such as analysers, samplers, valves and PLC´s. This allows a single engineer to conduct first and second tier on-site service on full systems. In case third tier expert service is required on a third-party product. KROHNE will liaise directly with the manufacturer enabling all services to be conducted under KROHNE co-ordination and responsibility.
