Course Description

INTRODUCTION

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 execute major overhaul and upgrading in the most efficient and cost effective way of the highly complex refinery structure.

This Refinery Shutdown and Turnaround training course emphasizes the optimization of the shutdown work structure so assets remain reliable and efficient with minimization of the required shutdowns though out the life cycle of the Refinery.

This GLOMACS 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

Objectives

At the end of this training course, you will learn 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

Training Methodology

This Refinery Shutdown and Turnaround training course is delivered by means of a combination of instructor-led topic areas and class discussions. This training course is further enhanced by the use of case studies, examples and practical exercises that are pre-loaded onto a laptop for each delegate. The templates, case studies, examples and exercises are subsequently available to each delegate after the training course as a reference for further study, research or practice. This ensures a high level of knowledge and skill retention.

Organisational Impact

The organisation will:

  • Be capable to optimize shutdown and turnaround costs
  • Be able to minimize effect of shutdown turnaround on life cycle scale
  • Target work activities on critical Refinery equipment
  • Assess Refinery Shutdown activities in time, scope and efficiency

Personal Impact

The participant will be able to:

  • Understand the machine failure and degradation using API 571 and other international codes
  • Size shutdown work requirement using API 579
  • Implement the appropriate shutdown program to improve reliability
  • Control Shutdown cost time and scope during execution
  • Assess all Turnaround activities with the appropriate indicators
