Services, Diagnostics & training

CST has a deep design knowledge, capable to solve the toughest challenges in the operation and maintenance of rotating equipment. Its engineering team can provide a comprehensive portfolio of services to trace and solve the most significant operational problems.

CST & BLACKSTONE INDUSTRIAL: UNIQUE INTEGRATED MACHINERY SERVICES

CST recently associated with Blackstone Industrial. The CST deep design know-how and capabilities combined with Blackstone Industrial experience on multi-brand rotating equipment maintenance in the field, and in shop provides an unparalleled value to end users to maintain and manage their assets across plant lifecycle.

CST-Blackstone Industrial provides a ‘one stop shop’ service support on rotating equipment for plant turnarounds thanks to a comprehensive capability in machinery outage, engineering analysis to trace and solve most significant operational problems. Blackstone Industrial has an extensive footprint in North America and partnerships in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East to support end users locally.

This new association can quickly mobilize its technical experts to provide plant walkdown, equipment health assessment, troubleshooting, failure analysis and improvement plans, and outages services on multi-brand rotating equipment. Customers receive the best support across their equipment lifecycle

OVERCOMING RECURRENT FAILURES

Machinery reliability is often impaired by recurrent failures, which are accepted by operators and expected to be unavoidable. With its design engineering know-how and experience, CST can study the behavior of the machine in its environment from scratch and accept the challenge to identify sustainable remedies, thus overcoming an apparently unimprovable issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which are the main differentiators in the supply of the services to the users, when comparing CST to the other Service providers and the OEMs?

Thereare three main cumulate differentiators:

- CST is a high-tech medium sizecompany whose primary focus is to be a technology leader and the proudness ofbeing recognized as such by the most important global players, while OEMs areoften very large organizations focused mainly on large projects and Serviceproviders are structured primarily for field services.

-  CST, being a design engineeringorganization, has a deep knowledge of the machine and is capable of interpretingits behaviour by remote diagnostic services supplied through its proprietarydiagnostic tools within Health Care Packages (HCPs) contract that cover,together with its sister company Blackstone, the entire operational spectrum.

- CST can assist the user in updating the machines and their BOP by suggestingand supplying revampings with modifications and upgrades to better suit theprocess/production and regulatory needs.

How quickly can CST respond to an emergency failure situation?

CST has the technical resources to respond quickly to field emergencies, analyze the problem and propose solutions. The team can mobilize senior engineers for on-site investigation and, where needed, supply components to get the machine back online as fast as possible.
