The challenge
Cooling down a reactor while reducing expensive downtime
Our client, one of Italy’s largest refiners, set us a challenge. To reduce the time it takes to cool down a reactor from the standard 5 days to just 3 days.
Helping them to maximise maintenance time, saving $1 million a day, while maintaining high levels of efficiency and security.
Time was crucial. Every hour carries considerable costs, leaving no room for delays. We needed a solution that was right, first time. And we needed it fast, with just 3 weeks from first design to final decommissioning.
