Introduction

Refineries extreme safety and continuous operation construction 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 introduces the methodologies to plan execute major overhaul and upgrading in the most efficient and cost effective way of the high complex refinery structure.

This Refinery Shutdown and Turnaround training seminar 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.

Objective

Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:-

Understand the Failure mechanisms of Refinery applying API 571
Size the necessary work for Assets life maximization using API 579
Apply the correct type of turnaround for each asset
Schedule work activities
Control time, budget and scope during shutdown
Assess performance of Turnaround

Audience

It is highly recommended that Refinery maintenance, reliability, engineering and technical support staff including leadership and management to attend this training. Also, including:

Planners
Supervisors
Engineers
Reliability Engineers
Maintenance Team Leaders and Managers
Operations Team Leaders and Managers
