INDUSTRIAL PETROCHEMICAL

Many industries shut down at night and the customers and employees of the firm exit the facility.  In addition the risk of fire and explosion (and the associated damage potential) is typically limited in those industries.  In contrast most large industrial petrochemical complexes run on a 24/7/365 basis and only undergo planned shut downs when absolutely necessary to conduct inspections and preventative maintenance.  These shutdowns are often referred to as a turnaround and because of the size of capital investment; the impact of delay in a turnaround can be tremendous. In addition, the safety requirements of both normal operations and a turnaround in this industry can become life threatening if not properly implemented and controlled.     If you are working within this industry can your department?  

• Manage and document – in real time - the unique activities required within the plant to safely respond to operator inspections and maintenance dispatches.
• Plan, engineer, schedule and conduct planned turnarounds efficiently and safely while meeting budget, schedule and workmanship expectations.
• Rapidly find, retrieve and produce for use document such as P&IDs and safety procedures anywhere within the organization when needed,
• Provide turnaround management teams with the information they need (from executive level dashboards to drill down details) to make sound business and technical decisions as questions arise throughout the turnaround.
• Record in the field (and rapidly produce for proof when audited) critical details (such as the results of laboratory tests and field operator procedures checklists) needed to verify compliance to your plant’s safe management practices.      

If managing tasks like these is carrying a high administrative cost or is taking away from time spent in the field (or even worse time invested with your family at home) then perhaps it is time for you to investigate the power of ATSER software solutions.
