Refinery turnarounds are
scheduled events of ceased production and total shutdown to perform
maintenance, repairs, inspections and other processes to ensure the safety and
reliability of the facility in the future. When turnarounds are not planned
properly, it could cause a staggering negative impact on the company. To avoid
failures, an effective system must be implemented.
Planning
Ahead
A successful refinery
turnaround involves a great deal of planning and work. Without a proper plan, a
refinery turnaround can be disastrous, leading to millions in expenses. It not
only affects the company but the oil and gas industry as well, reducing
production and sales.
Hiring
Trusted Contractors
Hiring contractors with
good reputations can help eliminate the possibility of turnaround failures. Contractors
will be the main workforce during this period. This means that you should only
hire those with sufficient knowledge and good work ethics for your partnership
to work. It is best to involve them in the planning process as well.
Paying
the Right Amount
Turnarounds cost a lot of
money, what with the production being shut down and all. Some may think that
they should lower expenses more by reducing labor costs. This is not ideal
since it would increase the period of ceased production, adding further
expenses in the long run. Hire the appropriate amount of workers to get the job
done in time.
