Why Choose this Training Course?
Refineries extreme safety and continuous operation constriction requirements demand properly designed and executed shutdowns together with increase in efficiency with the use of latest technologies place massive importance on properly designed and executed shutdown and turnaround.
This Refinery Shutdown and Turnaround training course introduces the methodologies to plan and execute major overhauls and upgrading most efficiently and cost-effectively of the highly complex refinery structure.
This training course emphasizes the optimization of the shutdown work structure, so assets remain reliable and efficient with minimization of the required shutdowns throughout the life cycle of the Refinery.
This PetroKnowledge Refinery Shutdown & Turnaround training course will highlight:
- Use of API 571 for work identification for static equipment and other international codes for dynamic equipment
- Sizing work requirements using API 579
- Creation of the appropriate Work structures to avoid repletion and minimize personnel engagement
- Use Gantt charts to monitor execution and keep in time
- Use of CPM PERT techniques for scheduling
- Use failure mathematics to safeguard risk on planning activities
- Assess turnaround with the appropriate efficiency testing and indicators
What are the Goals?
At the end of this Refinery Shutdown & Turnaround training course, you will learn to:
- Understand the Failure mechanisms of the Refinery applying API 571
- Size the necessary work for Assets life maximization using API 579
- Apply the correct type of turnaround for each asset
