Is your Pre-Turnaround a source of unforeseen troubles, or is it a smoothly running process that guarantees a seamless transition into the Turnaround phase?
In a world where you reap what you sow, this phase requires meticulous attention and precision.
Missed deadlines, constant delays, injuries, broken promises, and stress - all add up to emotional exhaustion for your team, creating a demoralizing work environment. We've seen firsthand how a single, knowledgeable Quality Control Technician can significantly impact the assessment of your units.
The Pre-Turnaround phase is a strategic period to inspect your vessel and plan future corrective repairs. With 82% of repairs failing to meet the performance requirements, understanding the issues within your Pre-Turnaround can provide valuable insights to enhance your Turnaround process.
By identifying these problems early, you can address them more effectively later on. Here’s a glimpse into the aspects that can be better recognized with our aid.
Hope, relief or anxiety? Pre-Turnaround is your Pandora’s box that evokes a range of emotions. To identify the critical paths in your Turnaround planning, a team of industry experts flies in to meticulously analyse potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
SILICON is often a choice for the Pre-Turnarounds as it offers reviews of FCC component drawings, sub-components, and anchor specifications. During these reviews, SILICON provides expert recommendations on anchor types and quantities, alloy types, as well as WPS and PQR weld procedures.
Diagnosing the right treatment gives you a competitive edge, ensuring your Turnaround planning is efficient and effective. This is your Shutdown showdown, where you mobilize smart industrial corps to mitigate high potential risks. Inspections are part of how we can help, directly improving the schedule and the scope of your team’s work. How?
Turnaround is a complex maintenance project, where every team operates within the constraints of its available resources. To expand your opportunities beyond current conditions, envision your ideal scenario, your perfect Turnaround. What would it look like?
Our teams know how to remove refractory anchor installations from the critical path of your projects. We have shortened numerous projects and mobilized resources efficiently. While you might think that your repair needs three months, completing it within the first month of the shutdown could be entirely feasible. How?
It is known that more than half of all Turnarounds experience significant delays, leading to revenue loss as affected plants struggle to restart on time. Having our crew at the site from the very beginning makes a difference. For discovery areas, SILICON can design pre-agreed anchoring solutions to streamline decision-making and ensure a smooth flow of the Turnaround.
Expertise in Rapid Arc Welding (RAW) Technology is another strong addition to your Pre-Turnaround. Already in the review phase, you will be able to understand what shifts could be minimized, as RAW is designed to reduce downtime and maximize efficiency. By prioritizing speed, you can ensure that affected refinery can get up and running quickly, reducing revenue loss and boosting overall performance. Speed is your surplus. Why?
The Pre-Turnaround phase presents a prime opportunity for your profitability improvements. Industry research reveals that 80% of Turnarounds exceed their budgets by at least 10%, highlighting a high risk of budget overruns. To effectively manage costs, it is essential to develop a detailed budget plan that covers all aspects of the repair, including labor, materials, and equipment rental.
Fortunately, SILICON provides a total solution, carefully supporting you at every step, from engineering to production, logistics and installation of your refractory anchors. Every weld with RAW gun enormously reduces the number of shifts and the size of the team, getting you closer to the finish line of the repair much faster and at a lower cost.
The price of the refractory installation is low due to high welding productivity rate. The sharp precision of the weld ensures the repeatable high quality of the installation within the units. By saving money through efficient processes, you can invest more in safety measures, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a safer work environment. How?
Delays lead to 50% of work-related accidents in the job sites. Ensuring the safety of your team and work environment is paramount. Steady performance of SILICON RAW machines creates a worriless site, as overheating is not an issue. A smaller crew is needed to operate the machine, reducing the risk of accidents.
By prioritizing safety measures, you can prevent injuries, reduce stress, and create a more productive and positive atmosphere for everyone involved.
Pre-Turnaround is a diagnostic cornerstone for your successful Turnaround. Having the right solution in the right place at the right time is what makes your team win.
