This course will introduce participants to proven practices that have been successfully applied in 19 key turnaround areas. The practices for any one area are a composite of practices that have been successfully used by several refineries and are not those of one individual refinery. No single refinery has implemented all the practices, although some refineries have been successful in implementing a large number of the practices and are striving to implement all of them. Even though the practices are derived from the refining industry, they are equally applicable to other industries that conduct maintenance shutdowns.
Upon completion of this management-training course, participants will understand the practices that have been successfully applied to turnarounds. All the practices that will be presented have proven to be successful in lowering turnaround cost and reducing turnaround duration while still achieving the required plant reliability.
