Anheuser-Busch has contracted with FCX Integrated Plant Services (IPS) on a stocking and recertification programme that will extend the life cycle of their Ammonia safety relief valves. The service offered by FCX IPS is two fold: the first being managing the Anheuser-Busch inventory and the second being valve repairs. Following the Anheuser-Busch safety standard, new and repaired safety relief valves have a five year life span whether the valve is in service or sitting on a storeroom shelf in “repaired” condition. Per the agreement, FCX IPS will store Anheuser-Busch safety relief vales in a “non-repaired” state. When the need for a repaired valve arises, FCX IPS will repair, certify and deliver the valve to Anheuser-Busch. This process ensures that Anheuser-Busch gets the full five year life span on all of their installed safety relief valves.
