Not a guarantee of future performance or performance in your particular circumstances Advanced technical documentation Contextual guide that helps you fix issues Online troubleshooting Step-by-step procedures Customer Care Center Automatic creation of technical support requests with serial numbers and commercial part numbers

7 WHAT ALTIVAR PROCESS CAN DO FOR YOU ACHIEVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY Achieve energy efficiency without extra costs Embedded within Altivar Process is a sensitive power measurement feature that records energy usage details. This allows you to compare energy consumption with production. The device also detects power drifts and informs you in real time, thanks to a customisable alarm management system. Altivar Process is designed to provide high power quality, so you can avoid potential penalties. It s a low-harmonic drive with a THDi of under 5%, making it compliant with IEEE519. In addition, thanks to its 3-level technology, Altivar Process significantly reduces power losses. This, in turn, reduces voltage stress on motors, improving motor performance and efficiency. The key to energy management success is having access to a single record system for timely analysis and reporting

8 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE Versatile and efficient, Altivar Process brings benefits to practically every link in the Oil & Gas value chain. OFFSHORE PRODUCTION ONSHORE PRODUCTION REFINING PETROCHEMICAL FUEL SUPPLY CHAIN

9 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE OFFSHORE PRODUCTION Improve the efficiency of your drilling operations For offshore drilling operations, Altivar Process improves both motor control performance and safety. It offers proven benefits for top drives / rotary tables, draw works and mud pumps. ATEX certified to run motors in volatile/hazardous environments In top drive or rotary table applications, Altivar Process can control a single or multi-motor setup, with load sharing to enable continuous operation. In a multi-motor environment with load sharing, Altivar Process can control the drilling line reels of the draw works. It is also equipped with a braking unit and brake management to ensure that tension remains constant. In addition, Altivar Process provides angle control of parallel mud pumps, helping to ensure a more stable, continuous flow while reducing stress on tubes and mechanical parts.

10 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE ONSHORE PRODUCTION Reduce downtime in your onshore operations Altivar Process offers first-rate fault management and data connectivity for onshore operations. It is ideally suited for artificial lift applications involving progressive cavity pumps, electro-submersible pumps and rod pumps, providing enhanced motor control and remote monitoring. Altivar Process helps you reduce costs and manage your energy. To reduce costs, you can run a step-up, step-down setup with a multi-pulse rectifier to convert MV power into LV (for the drive) then back to MV (to supply the pump). This optimises your investment and maintenance costs. Central monitoring & control helps protect pumps and minimise downtime during a power failure To manage onshore energy, Altivar Process ENA (ENergy Adaptation) function eliminates the need for a braking resistor for a rod pump. This means lower installation costs for the drive, more efficient energy use, and fewer mechanical constraints.

11 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE REFINING Save time and energy in your refining operations In a refinery setting, optimising the energy efficiency of pumps, compressors, and fans is critical for profitability. Controlling these applications with Altivar Process lowers your cost of ownership and boosts operational efficiency. ATEX certified to run motors in volatile/hazardous environments Altivar Process delivers energy savings thanks to improved process control. Its energy dashboard provides benchmarked energy usage information. In addition, it is uniquely able to monitor the BEP of centrifugal pumps to ensure optimal energy output. Finally, because maintenance time is at a premium in a continuous process environment, Schneider Electric has designed Altivar Process for ease of maintenance. The result? Significantly improved continuity of service.

12 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE PETROCHEMICAL Monitor and protect your petrochemical processes In petrochemical plants, where ensuring safety and uptime is critical, Altivar Process truly shines. By facilitating condition-based maintenance, it allows you to spot and address minor issues before they become significant. The rugged, reliable design is also well-suited to the petrochemical environment. ATEX certified to run motors in volatile/hazardous environments In continuous processes, the drives help prevent downtime caused by equipment breakage. For example, a drive can anticipate damage by monitoring the load torque. It can warn operators when torque is rising and stop the process when torque reaches a critical level. This enables adjustments to be made before any damage occurs to the application.

13 WHERE ALTIVAR PROCESS MAKES A DIFFERENCE Ensure smooth, efficient fuel supply operations Altivar Process provides as much value at the end of the Oil & Gas chain as it does at its start. FUEL SUPPLY CHAIN At fuel transport filling stations, Altivar Process assists with the exact positioning of fuel tankers by controlling torque on the winch. This helps ensure smooth and efficient fuelling operations. Altivar Process also help improve pump control to fill tankers and avoid electrostatic issues in ATEX environments.
