A leading petroleum refiner faced the challenge of identifying the most effective inspection coverage for its hydrocarbon reformer unit, resulting in excessive spending on inspections. However, they successfully found a game-changing solution that revolutionized their approach.
By implementing a #QuantitativeReliabilityOptimization (#QRO) pilot, this #refinery was able to optimize its inspection budget and maximize the value derived from their Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs). The key was quantifying the value of CML placements and eliminating unnecessary inspections while strategically adding new CMLs.
Over the next five years, the refinery is projected to achieve a total value increase of $800,000. This achievement is attributed to cost reductions and increased availability resulting from removing inspections that do not provide value and adding CMLs that provide optimal coverage.
If you are curious to learn more about this story and how advanced modeling transformed their operations, we invite you to dive deeper into the detailed case study.

In recent years we are seeing crude oil refining companies trying to improve their ESG (Environmental, Sustainability, and Governance) policies in order to reduce their potential negative impacts over the communities and environment and maximize the positive impact like economic and social development of the adjacent communities. Unfortunately, despite being an essential industry, the petroleum refining sector presents significant process safety risks which demand adequate management and policies to put under control these risks and ensure safe and clean operations to refineries. Process safety accidents in crude oil refineries normally have significant impacts to the life, environment, and assets which causes severe impacts to the life of adjacent communities, unfortunately an example of this scenario was the explosion and fire occurred in the Husky Superior refinery in USA at april 2018. During a planned shutdown of the FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking) unit a hydrocarbon leakage creates an explosive atmosphere which was flamed leading to a explosion, the scenario was worsened due to a damage in a adjacent asphalt tank that starts to leak and fuel the flames as presented in the video below. Unfortunately, the refining asset was severely damaged and was re-started safely only in 2023 impacting the lifes of adjacent communities, according to informations of new operator of the refinery, the plant employs 350 works and generate close to US$ 30 million annual payroll contributing significantly for the economic development of the Superior area.
The startup and shutdown of crude oil refining processing units are critical moments due to put and drain energy to the process equipment and demands special attention regarding compliance with operating procedures and maintenance of critical systems. Despite this case description, it's important to keep our vulnerability sense and understand that all downstream player in any country is subjected to these risks and the actions which really can block these occurrences is an adequate and sustainable asset management policy based on the sustainability tripod People, Planet, and Profit (Three Ps) that establishes the bases of a most sustainable management aiming to prioritize the life and environment in detriment of the business if necessary... How is your asset management policy? Do you completely understand the desired changes to your refining and/or petrochemical asset? How is this change analyzed and managed?

Thanks Mr. George Hoekstra for the insights that support this publication.
An adequate asset management policy is fundamental to ensure a sustainable operation of process plants like petrochemical and crude oil refining assets. The video below shows partially the consequence of explosion series occurred in a petrochemical process plant in the USA in 2019, in this occurrence a great amount of butadiene, a high flammable hydrocarbon leaked from a processing unit. An investigation conducted by the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) indicate that the butadiene release was caused by the generation of a polymer known as "popcorn polymer" which accumulated in a pipe section which as a "dead leg", the polymer formation led to a excessive mechanical stress that deform and caused the rupture of the pipeline allowing the release of olefin vapors leading to plant fire and explosions. The integrity management of processing plants is a key factor to the crude oil refining industry and the "dead legs" management is fundamental part of the integrity plan, especially in stockpiling assets, this case study reinforces our attention to this matter in our processing plants and led to questions like We deeply known the existing "dead legs" in our processing plants? There is adequate management plans to deal with these threats? It's fundamental to learn from these kind of process accidents to improve our asset management plans and decision process always based on the sustainability tripod: People, Planet, and Profit in this order aiming to ensure that the life and environment needs to be prioritized in detriment of the business always needed...#processsafety#petrochemicalindustry#downstreamoilandgas#assetmanagement
