Petrochem and Bürkert bring value for process control projects in Ireland

11 January, 2023

The Petrochem Group, a major distributor in Ireland, has built a relationship with Bürkert to deliver valves and instrumentation components with optimum performance and value.

“A good example is a recent project working with a big engineering services provider that was specifying a water supply and wastewater control system to a tech corporate. Measurement of organic impurities was crucial. Our network and experience enabled us to initially source the opportunity, but Bürkert’s engineering expertise dedicated to this sector helped increase the value we could provide to the project,” says O’Driscoll.

Notwithstanding the partnership that enables Petrochem to involve Bürkert’s expertise, the company has extensive specification knowledge in its own right. From Petrochem’s 70-strong team across Ireland, the company has an in-depth understanding of valve and instrumentation integration.

“The importance of Petrochem, in terms of their sector knowledge and experience, is crucial,” says Bürkert’s Ireland account manager, Des McCarthy. “The close contact they have with contractors and OEMs, from dairies to chemical plants, and the understanding of the engineering challenges that this brings, is very important. With their technical know-how of valves and instrumentation, they can arrive at a very close specification that, if required, our engineers can fine-tune.”

With two large facilities in Ireland, in Cork and Meath, Petrochem is also able to carry a wide-ranging stock, enabling rapid availability for large projects. This also means that Petrochem can provide trade-counter sales to contractors.

“As well as the technical support they provide, Bürkert is at the forefront of design and innovation, meaning that their products continually improve on accuracy and efficiency. Their designs are built to last, so this gives us confidence and helps create the trust we share with our customers,” says O’Driscoll. “Together, this creates a strong partnership to serve engineers at all levels across process sector projects.”
