USA DeBusk is an innovator that offers a broad range of services, re-imagining each one for opportunities to increase safety, productivity and customer value to levels never before achieved. The company's fixed bed inert catalyst handling demonstrates how this commitment continues to advance the state of the art:
- Technology and equipment. New technologies play key roles in the company's approach, particularly in improving safety and reducing personnel exposure. For example, technicians working inside reactors are equipped with unique biometric monitoring systems that allow supervisors to track heart rate, respiratory rate, core body temperature and body position in real time. Biometric monitoring provides the hard data needed to prevent overexertion, heat exhaustion and injuries.
Other technologies were adopted to make projects safer and more efficient, including hands-free communications systems, high-definition surveillance cameras, onboard Doppler weather monitoring and CO2 gas expansion fracturing to dislodge fused catalyst deposits.
Whether high-tech or conventional, the condition of each piece of equipment at a jobsite has the potential to affect project reliability. USA DeBusk takes a proactive approach to dependability, investing in the latest model equipment and keeping it in top operating condition with in-house maintenance facilities.
- Expertise and experience. Although advanced technology and equipment are vital, the skill and decision-making ability of the people using them ultimately determine the success of a project. That is why USA DeBusk developed elite inert catalyst teams with the highest levels of experience.
USA DeBusk project managers average 17 years of experience in conducting inert catalyst handling projects. Each manager has grown up in this specialty, starting as an inert catalyst technician and rising through the ranks. They understand every aspect of catalyst projects, from customer concerns to risk mitigation, proper crew management and the latest changes in technology.
USA DeBusk project managers are heavily involved in every phase of a project, from requests for quotation to pre-project planning, execution and post-execution follow-up. This allows project managers and plant personnel to have an established relationship prior to job execution, ensuring agreement on expectations, streamlining communications and promoting greater overall efficiency.
- Responsiveness and resources. USA DeBusk has also taken an innovative approach to responsiveness, strategically positioning inert catalyst offices near major refining and chemical processing centers in Southern California, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Gulf Coast and East Coast.
Because catalyst handling is often part of larger turnaround projects, customers also want a single service company that can handle large projects in turnkey fashion. USA DeBusk meets these needs with a full suite of services for both conventional needs and specialty projects such as catalyst handling and furnace pigging and decoking. Facilities in 21 locations around the U.S. are ready to ramp up quickly and provide resources to handle the largest, most complex turnarounds.
