InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – To process fatty alcohols and fatty acid, it would need the strong and reliable instruments to confirm that the operation would be safe and efficient. VEGA sensor would be the option to realize the goal(s).

In a dynamic industrial center in the City of Batam, Kepulauan Riau Province, PT Ecogreen Oleochemicals, the advance fatty alcohols and fatty acid producer in Indonesia, relied on the strong and reliable instrument to confirm that the operation would be efficient and safe in every production. In the latest expansion project, the company applied VEGA sensor, namely VEGAPLEX 86 to monitor the level and VEGABAR 81 to know the pressure to optimize batch reboiler distillation process.

The Power of Precision: The Background

At EOB-Indonesia, the making process involved natural fat and oil that were conversed to be kinds of chemical products, such as, fatty alcohols, fatty acid and glycerin. The complicated process needed the right control and monitoring to confirm that the operation quality would be efficient. One significant application that prioritized precision was in the batch reboiler distillation.

In June 2023, EOB-Indonesia adopted guided wave radar (GWR) VEGAFLEX 86 from VEGA to know the management level of their batch reboiler distillation. It was decided by the needs to get accurate and reliable level management in the high temperature process that could be reaching up to 250°C. The competitive price and VEGA sensor technic specification made the ideal options to apply.

The Solution: The Experience of VEGA in Action

VEGAFLEX 86 sensor was installed in the batch reboiler distillation at EOB-Indonesia. It provides the real time level monitoring in high temperature – chemical process. Even though it is in hard condition, VEGAFLEX 86 sensor showed a very well performance. The right measurement significantly contributed to maintain the optimal and important process to get qualified products.

VEGA sensor was completely installed and commissioned in June 2023 by EOB – Indonesia internal team with the supports from VEGA Indonesia during the commissioning process. The user – friendly interface sensor and Bluetooth connectivity with VEGA tools simplified the calibration and configuration; escalated operational efficiently, and minimize the time to get serviced.

High Temperature is Well Managed

In the production facility of EOB-Indonesia, high temperature level measurement always raised the real challenges. But VEGAFLEX 86 sensor proved that in the long and fixed term, can be reliable even though there would be hard condition. By the good cooperation and knowledge with VEGA team, EOB-Indonesia solved the hard condition and optimize its production in the efficiency and reliability.

The Mainstay of VEGA Sensor

VEGA sensor delivered some mainstays for the operation at EOB-Indonesia, such as, delivering competitive price, right on time – delivery, and good technical supports. The Bluetooth connectivity and VEGAFLEX 86 sensor with VEGA Tools application, enabled the configuration and calibration easily, minimize additional tool needs, and simplify maintenance.

Take Partners to be Successful

The partnership between EOB-Indonesia and VEGA started by having technically clarification in the bargaining process. VEGA got high value, thanks to the expertise and special services for many years. Starting from the technical suggestion to commissioning and trainings on the spot. VEGA proved to be the reliable partner in each action. In specific, VEGA would be committed to the customers’ satisfaction which is the same with EOB – Indonesia for being famous with its superiority in oleochemical industries.

The Success and Reliability

PT Ecogreen Oleochemicals Batam (EOB-Indonesia) would be committed to produce high quality – products with competitive price, and developing its workers’ skills. In this context, VEGA sensor would be integrated into the production process. It is one evidence of the commitments. By the solution, EOB – Indonesia would be about to get better efficiency, reliability, and security beyond what the customers expected.
