- LONDON, UK & HOUSTON, TX, September 19, 2007 - KBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. (KBC) announces continued success in partnership with Irving Oil.
Now in its sixth year, this strategic, long-term relationship between KBC and Irving has continued to strengthen. Irving and KBC personnel review and continuously enhance operations, through operations planning, reliability, and energy efficiency. In addition, we work together to identify and evaluate possible areas of investment, and we assist in creating a plan for the future of the facility.
The relationship is enhanced by the strong working relationship between Irving and KBC personnel - starting with the KBC engineer on-site at Irving's refinery office. This approach enables him to act as a conduit between Irving and the global KBC skills pool. The result is faster communication, better project scoping, and higher value added for Irving and KBC through this strategic relationship.
