Oil Terminal Protection Upgrade
A high-stakes protection relay retrofit and switchgear commissioning campaign executed under continuous operating parameters at a major downstream export terminal.
Identifying critical risks and system bottlenecks.
The terminal's electrical distribution was vulnerable to nuisance tripping from outdated, non-communicative electromagnetic relays. A full shutdown was financially unfeasible due to export quotas.
Delivering precision engineering and tested technology.
SBL engineered a detailed step-by-step hot-swapping procedure. We successfully replaced 48 critical protection relays, calibrated all switchboards, and verified SAT compliance without ever losing plant power.
Successful commissioning and guaranteed performance.
Zero hours of production downtime lost. Achieved 100% SAT first-pass compliance and secured terminal uptime safety margins.
