Refining

Prioritize asset integrity and environmental compliance in the refining industry

Overview

Oil and gas refining is a critical process that converts crude oil and natural gas into a wide range of fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals. This complex process involves the separation of low-value and high-grade components but can release harmful pollutants into the environment during processing. 

The industry operates in a highly regulated framework. Globally, refineries are pressed to achieve ever greater environmental standards and to maintain high air and water quality. Often, improving environmental compliance is linked to improved asset integrity, both of which are driven by optimized maintenance and turnaround management in order to minimize Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC), or commonly referred to as leaks.

Key client challenges

1

We have leak detection systems and processes in place, but our refineries are still experiencing liquid and gas leaks, resulting in costly financial penalties. How can we resolve this?

2

How can we improve our asset integrity?

3

We are using our maintenance data to improve asset reliability, but we still have a backlog of critical maintenance tasks that put our refinery at risk of a major shutdown. How can we reduce this backlog?

4

How can we reduce the asset management risk profile?

5

Our departments seem to work in silos, e.g. the engineering team sets strategy and operations works independently. How can we integrate the overall strategy and processes to work seamlessly?

6

How can we change the behavior of our people to promote a culture of continuous improvement and ensure they implement and adhere to work processes?

7

We have carried out detailed pre-turnaround planning and preparation, but we are still experiencing extensions. How can we resolve this?

8

Is it possible to achieve zero days delay in turnaround schedule performance?

Our global team of specialists with over 30 years of experience can help you with your challenges through maintenance optimization, risk mitigation and backlog reduction, work management and prioritization, reliability-centred maintenance and engineering, and many more.
