From high temperature to high performance
In the vibrant industrial hub of Batam, Kepulauan Riau, PT Ecogreen Oleochemicals, a leading producer of natural fatty alcohols and fatty acids in Indonesia, relies on robust and reliable instrumentation to ensure efficient and safe operation throughout their production processes. In their recent expansion project, they implemented VEGA sensors, specifically the VEGAFLEX 86 for level monitoring and VEGABAR 81 for pressure measurement, to optimize their reboiler batch distillation process.
The power of robust measurement in crude palm oil processing
At EOB-Indonesia, the manufacturing process derivative of crude palm oil (CPO) into various oleochemical products, including fatty alcohols, fatty acids, and glycerin. This intricate process requires precise control and monitoring to ensure product quality and operational efficiency. One critical application where precision is paramount is in their reboiler batch distillation process.
In June 2023, EOB-Indonesia adopted VEGA's VEGAFLEX 86 guided wave radar (GWR) sensors for level monitoring in their reboiler batch distillation setup. The decision was driven by the need for accurate and reliable level measurement in high-temperature processes, with temperatures reaching up to 250°C. The competitive pricing and technical specifications of VEGA sensors made them the ideal choice for their application.

High temperatures well mastered
In the production facility of EOB-Indonesia, level measurement at high temperatures regularly poses real challenges. However, the VEGAFLEX 86 sensors have proven to be resistant in the long term and remain reliable despite the harsh conditions. With the know-how and in close cooperation with the VEGA team, EOB-Indonesia was able to master the demanding conditions and optimize its production processes in terms of efficiency and reliability.
The advantages of VEGA sensors
VEGA Tools App
The adoption of VEGA sensors has brought several advantages to EOB-Indonesia's operations, including competitive pricing, timely delivery, and excellent technical support. The VEGAFLEX 86 sensors' Bluetooth connectivity with VEGA Tools app allows for easy configuration and calibration, reducing the need for additional tools and simplifying maintenance tasks.
Partnering for success
The partnership between EOB-Indonesia and VEGA began with a technical clarification during the quotation phase, in which VEGA scored highly thanks to its many years of expertise and special service. From technical advice to on-site commissioning and training, VEGA proved to be a reliable partner every step of the way. In particular, VEGA's commitment to customer satisfaction was a perfect match for EOB-Indonesia, which is known for excellence in the oleochemical industry.
