The petrochemical industry faces complex challenges in terms of safety, efficiency and sustainability. Capable of transforming crude oil and natural gas into a wide variety of essential chemicals such as plastics, fertilizers, solvents, synthetic rubber, detergents, adhesives or synthetic fibers, the petrochemical sector is the basis for countless industries, such as the automotive, pharmaceutical, textile or food industries.
The complexity of operations in the petrochemical industry, which includes the handling of hazardous fluids such as flammable liquids, toxic gases and corrosive substances, makes MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) management a fundamental aspect to ensure the safety, sustainability and efficiency of operations.

The importance of MRO in the petrochemical industry
MRO in the petrochemical sector must ensure that systems and equipment operate safely, efficiently and in compliance with regulations. Fluid management is especially critical to ensure that liquids and gases are handled and processed properly, avoiding serious risks such as leaks, explosions or environmental contamination.
The MRO in this sector covers:
- Maintenance of fluid handling equipment and systems (pumps, valves, piping, heat exchangers)
- Leak prevention and safety optimization
- Critical parts and consumables management
At Adalis we work in partnership with fluid and sealing specialists, which allows us to offer more accurate and efficient management, especially in critical areas such as leak prevention and improving operational sustainability.
Fluid management in the petrochemical industry
Fluid management in the petrochemical industry involves handling liquids and gases during transportation, storage and processing. These fluids, although essential to operations, represent significant risks due to their flammable, toxic or corrosive properties.
Challenges in fluid management:
- System integritysubject to wear, corrosion and mechanical failure due to extreme operating conditions.
- Leak and spill prevention that can cause fires, explosions or environmental contamination.
- Operational efficiency by interruptions in the flow of fluids that can affect the continuity of operations and generate economic losses.
- Regulatory compliance with strict regulations requiring safe handling of fluids.
- SustainabilityThe company's environmental impact is crucial for reducing environmental impact, optimizing the use of resources and minimizing emissions and waste.
Products that improve your efficiency
MRO in the petrochemical and fluid management industry
As an industrial service provider to the petrochemical industry, we offer essential MRO items to ensure that fluid handling systems operate safely and efficiently. Key actions we undertake include:
- Maintenance of fluid handling equipment: regular inspections, calibration and cleaning of valves, pumps and piping systems, as well as replacement of critical components to prevent leaks.
- Prevention of leaks and spills: through continuous monitoring with advanced sensors and inspection of seals and gaskets, the tightness of the system is guaranteed. In addition, with MRO, containment systems are implemented to minimize the impact of spills.
- Waste management and sustainability: Through the maintenance of liquid and gaseous waste treatment systems, and the monitoring of emissions and waste reduction, petrochemical MRO also focuses on safe management and operational sustainability.
- Incorporation of advanced technologies: IoT sensors, predictive analytics and remote monitoring systems allow problems to be detected before they occur, optimizing maintenance and reducing costs.
Collaboration with fluid and sealing specialists
Collaboration with fluid and sealing experts is key to ensuring system integrity and operational safety. Specialists in this field bring technical expertise, experience and access to advanced technologies. Their roles include:
- Design of maintenance programs customized for each plant.
- Implementation of sealing solutions to prevent leakage and improve efficiency.
- Staff training in fluid handling and safety best practices.
- Audits and consulting to ensure regulatory compliance and improve ongoing management.

Success stories in the petrochemical sector
At Cepsa, we worked alongside a sealing specialist, who played an essential role in providing expert advice on suitable materials to ensure the integrity of fluid handling systems. By evaluating the characteristics of the fluids being processed (such as hydrocarbons, gases, and chemicals), as well as the operating conditions of pressure, temperature, and corrosion, the use of materials for gaskets, seals, packings, and other components was recommended, which helped prevent leaks and optimized operational efficiency.
Together with this same sealing specialist, Adalis analyzes the technical specifications of industrial equipment and systems, identifies advanced technologies (such as high-performance polymers, specialized elastomers or metallic compounds) and manages to optimize operational efficiency and minimize risks associated with leaks or failures.
The conclusion of these actions was to prevent operational incidents and product losses, reduce maintenance costs and, consequently, reinforce the commitment of CEPSA with safety, sustainability and operational excellence in its industrial processes.
- Posting and dumping of inventory in SAP.
- Labeling and reference of materials.
- Installation of new shelving and reorganization of material.
- Outsourcing of warehouse management.
- Implementation of a purchasing website connected to SAP through PUNCH OUT.
The result: increased efficiency in inventory management, reduced downtime and optimization of the purchasing process, allowing Werfen to keep its operations leaner and more profitable.
