Bently Nevada, a Baker Hughes business, and SIBUR, one of the fastest growing and largest integrated petrochemicals companies in Russia, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to study the opportunity to further expand SIBUR’s asset performance management capabilities and reduce carbon emissions. 

The agreement will explore implementation of Bently Nevada’s System 1 remote condition monitoring software platform and other leading technologies across 2,000+ machines at 10+ SIBUR sites. 

“SIBUR’s production processes are well automated thanks to our distributed control systems and the technologies the company has implemented as part of our digital transformation. We employ predictive diagnostics, vibration diagnostics and Industrial Internet of Things to provide control over the dynamic state of our equipment,” said Igor Klimov, Managing Director, SIBUR. 

“Through Bently Nevada’s System 1 platform, SIBUR can benefit from our integrated suite of technologies to power its digital transformation and help achieve its carbon footprint reduction targets while maintaining safety,” said Rami Qasem, Executive Vice President of Digital Solutions at Baker Hughes. 

System 1 provides critical plant-wide asset health monitoring, analytics and data protection for industrial customers like SIBUR. With more than 10,000 installations in over 90 countries. The platform is a key enabler of digital transformation for industry and delivers operational efficiencies, extends asset lifecycles, and reduces non-productive downtime. 

Baker Hughes will also collaborate with SIBUR to explore the use of technologies including flare monitoring, cybersecurity and remote access support to augment System 1’s data monitoring and diagnostic services. 

By optimizing flare performance to ensure 98%+ flare combustion efficiency, this technology can make an important contribution to SIBUR’s intention to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in both the midstream and petrochemicals segments.
