Founded in 2001, Total Parco Pakistan Limited (TPPL) is the market leader and the most technologically advanced refinery in the country. After acquiring Chevron in 2015, TPPL had over 800 stations across the country and are the second largest OMC in Pakistan.
Unscheduled downtime is an organization’s number one enemy. In an environment where equipment is expected to run 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week under extreme operating conditions, equipment failure can quickly bring production to a halt. This can turn the company workday run into an excruciating marathon.
This was TPPL’s major problem when they approached ART and as always we provided them with a product which was best suited for their needs. This is how ART’s Oil Testing and Analysis solution came into existence!
