Improved the Longevity, Operability and Maintainability of the Lactoferrin Plant

Problem

Synlait were struggling to meet their reliability engineering requirements with their existing internal resources.

Solution

DETA worked to coordinate the new lactoferrin plant into Synlait’s existing reliability engineering systems. This required significant site time, and tight coordination with the Synlait team, as well as contractors.

Outcome

DETA has worked with several sites to deliver reliability engineering services, developing the connection between project and operation, and improving the longevity, operability and maintainability of plant.
