Power Factor Correction in Yanbu

What causes low power factor in a Yanbu plant?
Lightly loaded induction motors, transformers running below rating, welding sets and crushers draw reactive current without doing work. In process plants the motors on pumps and compressors are the main source, and their drives add harmonics. A survey separates the two, which tells us whether to specify a plain panel, a detuned capacitor bank or a filter. In Yanbu we have worked on projects for Marafiq.
How do you avoid a power factor penalty in Yanbu?
You hold the plant at or above the tariff target all month, at every load level. A fixed bank cannot do that when load changes, so we use an automatic controller with enough steps and enough range to follow the lowest demand. SEC sets the tariff terms (Saudi Electricity Company tariff: 0.90 minimum above 1 MVA contract load), and we size to 0.95.

Which Yanbu areas do we serve?
We supply plants in Yanbu Industrial City, the Yanbu Commercial Port area and the contractors who support them. Typical loads are refinery and petrochemical units, power and desalination plants, pumping stations and logistics sites. See the oil and gas and petrochemical pages for the load types. Yanbu is on the Red Sea coast, a long way from our Dammam workshops, so freight and any site travel are shown on the quotation. Panels ship by road in 2–3 days, and survey teams travel by air or road.
We are available for projects across Saudi Arabia, including Yanbu. Saudi Power Factor Company has operated since 2010. Our Jubail page covers the other Royal Commission city.

Yanbu power factor questions
Who provides power factor correction in Yanbu?
Saudi Power Factor Company provides power factor correction in Yanbu from its Dammam base, from sizing and documentation to build, freight and commissioning. Established in 2010, we work with Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission.
What affects the cost of a Yanbu capacitor bank?
The kVAr, the step count, detuning or filtering for drives, the document and test scope, the enclosure and freight from Dammam. A tender specification with a long witness-test list costs more than a standard panel, and we price it as a separate line.
How long does delivery to Yanbu take?
Lead time is 2–3 weeks for an APFC panel and 3–4 weeks for a detuned bank, plus freight of 2–3 days by road. Time also depends on drawing approval and how fast your team signs off the inspection and test plan, so we put those dates in the quotation.
Can you answer a Yanbu tender specification clause by clause?
Yes. We take your specification or datasheet, answer each clause, list our deviations plainly and hold the build until the drawings and calculations are approved by your consultant or engineer.
Is there a power factor correction company near me in Yanbu?
Our office is in Dammam, across the Kingdom from Yanbu. We quote and design remotely, then arrange freight and commissioning with you at order stage, so you know who attends the site before you commit.
