On-Site Fuel Service: Reducing Refinery Turnaround Impact on Buyers

Every oil fuel refinery owner would agree that shutdowns, whether planned or unplanned can be extremely arduous and expensive. Millions of dollars are spent each year, or in every three to four years, depending on the size of the operation, in planning and implementing a refinery turnaround. There are vast issues to address, such as worker safety, equipment upgrades and immense labor demand, timescale, and the overall expense it takes to carry out the plans. While operators are torn between the need to balance turnaround frequency and cost versus equipment maintenance needs, not much effort is afforded to mitigating its impact on downstream customers.
