Maintenance and reliability solutions with additive manufacturing at BASF

Dr. Urbanczyk from BASF will present successful examples of additively manufactured components that can be used to improve plant availability, efficiency and safety.

As a driver of innovation in the chemical industry, BASF does not only rely on conventional processes for manufacturing equipment. BASF also deploys the latest technologies, benefiting from their advantages for the complex applications in the chemical process industry. This includes additive manufacturing as a new technology to produce parts being used in production plants.
The BASF division Global Engineering Services built an Additive Manufacturing Center and set up a team who has in the past years been fabricating components with a strong focus on metal alloys and the strict requirements regarding component integrity, safety, and certification. Based on these technical capabilities, additive manufactured components are able to play a more and more important role in the maintenance strategy of chemical assets
In this presentation, the speaker will showcase successful examples of additively manufactured metal parts being implemented in plants and improving the continuity of operations, performance efficiency and plant safety.
