Industry Expertise for Improving Reliability in Complex Refining Operations
Refineries rely on thousands of assets—from compressors and pumps to turbines, valves, and heat exchangers—operating under demanding and often hazardous conditions. Managing this complexity across aging units, remote sites, and strict safety standards makes reliability a constant challenge.
Unplanned failures can cascade through the process, risking production and personnel safety. Manual inspections alone aren’t enough, especially in hard-to-reach areas. With continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance, refiners can detect issues early, optimize maintenance schedules, and prevent costly downtime.
High-criticality assets such as hydrogen make-up compressors, gas and steam turbines, and refrigeration or recycle compressors pose the greatest operational risk. A single failure can halt a processing unit—or even the entire refinery—costing millions per day in lost production, repairs, and safety or environmental impacts.
