O'Brien Services

Design Optimization

Engaging O'Brien's Services team early, at the (FEED) front end engineering and design, provides the strongest opportunity to reduce overall instrument and analyzer loop related project costs and expedite the project timeline. Ultimately, O'Brien helps construct operating units that are more reliable, efficient and easier to maintain with respect to the instrument, analyzer and control systems. Safety, accuracy and simplification are the primary objectives.

Early in projects, decisions are made that affect the operation and integrity of the field instrumentation. Decisions regarding process loops tend to fragment this among multiple vendors, constructors and contracts. O'Brien is uniquely qualified to help craft an integrated solution for the installed field instrumentation and analyzer loops that includes responsibility of design, configured components and coordination of control systems.
