Score Diagnostics & Score (Europe) Ltd Exhibit On-Site at Major Oil & Gas Refinery

Score Diagnostics Limited paired up with our sister company Score (Europe) Limited for an engineering and technology desktop exhibition on-site at a major oil & gas refinery. This was a fantastic opportunity which allowed us to present all the latest innovative technologies, products and services on offer from the Score Group of companies.

Throughout the day we had a steady stream of visitors keen to find out what we had to offer them to support the most efficient and effective process operations. We provided many live product demonstrations of the MIDAS Meter®, which received great feedback from all visitors to our stand. The demonstration kit on show gave everyone a chance to see valve condition monitoring methods, results and benefits for themselves, since many visitors took the opportunity to have a hands-on experience of using the MIDAS Meter®. This highlighted clearly for them just how quick and easy it is to non-invasively detect, quantify and trend a valve leak using this device, which delivers both operational and strategic advantages for process operations optimisation.

Score (Europe) Limited took the opportunity to highlight their broad offerings under the broad Intelligent Valve Management™ banner, including on-site services provision, such as valve engineering and design consultancy, testing, troubleshooting, repairs, shutdown management, bolt torque and tensioning, on-site machining and our unique Valve Response Unit (VRU) services. This was also very well received by the stand visitors, many of whom did not fully appreciate the breadth of valve management / support services that the Score Group can offer.

We are currently following up on all requests made for further product information and site demonstrations and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visited our stand and for the hospitality and support extended to us by the event organisers throughout the day.

If you did not get the chance to speak with us at the event but would like to find out more information on our product range; contact us directly today, via e-mail: midas.enquiries@score-group.com or through our contact web forms on our website: midasvalvediagnostics.com

Score Diagnostics Exhibit at Offshore Technology Days (OTD)

 OTD

On Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th October, Score Diagnostics paired up with sister company Score A/S to exhibit at the Offshore Technology Days (OTD) Exhibition in Stavanger, Norway.  The annual exhibition, which is the largest in Norway, features more than 500 exhibitors and attracts visitors from all over the world.  It is where oil and energy professionals meet to do business, share technical knowledge and expertise, and network. Over the course of the two days, visitors to the Score A/S stand were shown a range of innovative technologies, products and services offered by the Score Group Plc group of companies.  Particular interest was shown in the MIDAS® range of valve diagnostic products and services. Visitors were shown how these valve condition and performance monitoring products play a key role in Score Group Plc’s Intelligent Valve Management Strategy, and how they can deliver maximised safety and operating efficiency on your process plants.

The famous Oktoberfest provided great entertainment on the Wednesday evening and offered further opportunities to network, meet with friends, entertain clients and customers and indulge in some fine German food and beer!

Several people who visited the stand enquired about the Score A/S Open Day, which is to be held on the 11th January 2018 at the Score A/S facility in Stavanger.  The open day will showcase working demonstrations of all the latest technologies, products and services from the Score Group.

MIDAS Meter® “Surveys as a Service”

Untitled

Gain all the benefits of Valve Condition and Performance Monitoring, for minimum investment.

It is entirely normal and expected that you have to spend a little when you want to save a lot. A new project where you know that a modest investment can deliver a massive return sounds like it would be easy to get a budget for, however… When CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) budgets are not readily available, it’s easy to assume that all the desired benefits of your new initiative or project are going to be missed out on. Not so. Looking towards funding the project from the OPEX (Operating Expenditure) budget can sometimes still deliver most of the project value.

Score Diagnostics is delighted to announce the launch of the MIDAS Meter® “Surveys as a Service” initiative, for valve condition and performance monitoring and reporting.

Valve surveying / monitoring delivers savings in operating costs, minimisation of operational risks and maximisation of reliability, efficiency and profits. If you cannot afford to buy a MIDAS Meter®, but still want the benefits – just choose the “survey as a service” option.

For more information on this exciting new service, click here to view our new flyer or read our case study where our customer was able to save £340,000 following investment in a MIDAS Meter® survey that cost less than £20k.

MIDAS Meter® Training Course Recently Enhanced

Image-2-1024x683

MIDAS Meter® owners can receive the best return on their investment by training their technicians on the best practice and use of this technology. The recently enhanced MIDAS Meter® training course, which is delivered by fully qualified and experienced Score personnel, is a blended combination of both theoretical and practical based learning.

The theory elements of the training course cover the acoustic emissions (AE) surveying technique, safe operation, survey methods and procedures as well as maintenance of the MIDAS Meter® and PDA equipment.

The hands-on element of the course gives delegates the opportunity to use the equipment in a safe classroom environment and gain practical experience of basic valve surveying procedures for leak detection, quantification, reporting, and monitoring activities including performance trending, by using the MIDAS Meter® on a small valve manifold. The recommended 2 day course also provides the opportunity for delegates to have a supervised on-site practical application and coaching session for best results, as well as enhanced data management tutoring.

The course covers the generation of standardised survey results reports, using the supplied Communicator™ Software, which means it provides an excellent introduction for maintenance personnel who are responsible for the safe, environmentally friendly and efficient operation of process plant and specifically valves.

The recently enhanced training course has been very well received by recent trainees, with the following feedback being given:

  • “Good mix of theory and practical”
  • “Well presented and knowledgeable”
  • “Great knowledge shown by the instructor – nice and friendly”
  • “Very nice training and gaining good knowledge”
  • “Made the course enjoyable, good information”
