The company draws on digital technologies and state-of-the-art processes to optimise operations and maintenance activities, and make them as efficient as possible. “With our central control room, we’re providing modern operational management as well as improved performance for our customer, and are thus making an important contribution to the energy supply,” says Torsten Bührig, Division Manager Technical Dispatching at Storengy Deutschland.
Andreas Gobi, Production Superintendent at Vermilion Energy Germany, is very confident about this collaboration: “For monitoring our facilities, we’re calling on the expertise and professionalism of an established player in the energy sector. The decisive factor for this collaboration was Storengy’s industry experience and its state-of-the-art central control room, which meets our high quality and safety standards in every respect.” Remote monitoring is introduced in addition to operational and plant control by Vermilion personnel, further enhancing plant safety.
