Success Story

Built to Last: Extending the Lifecycle and Reliability of a Legacy Syngas Compressor

How CCC helped BASF Antwerp extend control system life by nearly 20 years with a secure, reliable Vanguard S5 Pro upgrade

When BASF faced growing reliability issues with its legacy syngas compressor control system, the original equipment manufacturer offered an expensive and inflexible redesign with limited local support. Instead, they turned to CCC for a smarter solution.

CCC delivered a future-ready upgrade using the Multiloop Duplex Vanguard S5 Pro, engineered for stability, local support, and long-term system viability. After thorough testing and collaboration across R&D and system engineering teams, the solution went live in 2021 and has been running reliably since.

This project not only resolved persistent trip and energy issues but also extended the system's life cycle by nearly 20 years and updated it to the latest cybersecurity standards.
