Thermal imaging technology has evolved over the years, and investment costs have decreased significantly.
Editorial Comment: Maintenance and reliability—A cornerstone of safe and efficient plant operation
Refineries and petrochemical plants are comprised of a series of crucial processes to produce transportation fuels, products and chemicals demanded by the global market. These processes consist of capital-intensive units that must be maintained to provide reliable performance. Failure to adequately maintain these assets can have a detrimental effect to not only operations and profit, but also to worker safety.
Determining the indeterminate
Standards such as API, ASME and NFPA are applied widely in the refining industry.
