✅ The products of petrochemical industry are often associated with continuity, high temperature, high pressure, scaling and strong corrosion. It is better to keep the equipment safe from these cases and avoid a potentially big disaster with careful and timely handling. Therefore, if any company considers a part of its initial capital for overhaul, it will be safe from these problems.
✅ Basic maintenance and repairs are expensive, but compared to the cost that may be incurred in the event of a breakdown that has serious consequences for the factory, it will not be too much. In case of accidents, even short-term stops in production may occur, which, in addition to the loss of non-production, will cause customer dissatisfaction and damage to the reputation of that production unit.
✅ Major repairs are a completely specialized work; Because in today's era and due to the complexity of industrial devices, these equipments also require specialized repairs. Therefore, it is necessary to use expert forces in mechanics, electronics, industries and safety for repairs.
✅ Specialized repairs are required for the basic repair of refineries and other equipment and industrial networks. These repairs mean dismounting and remounting, complete inspection, repairs and engine inspection.
Refineries and petrochemical industries, like any other factory, need repairs after a period of operation. In addition to preventing possible defects, these repairs can also guarantee the health and safety of the systems. These problems are:
✅ internal clogging
A large part of this mass includes iron sulfur, which is formed from the contact of petroleum materials with the surface of equipment and parts.
Heavy polymer materials and coke are among the materials that cause blockage of paths and equipment fouling. If not dealt with in time, they may also cause accidents.
Refinery coolers are another place where sediment and debris and even hard water materials will block the passage.
✅ Surface fouling
Fouling may occur on towers and trays. In this case, it will reduce the efficiency of the devices and premature wear of the equipment.
✅ Corrosion and wear and tear
Materials such as sulfur and nitrogen along with the products when they pass through the pipe and equipment due to the speed, heat and pressure that exist cause corrosion and Abrasion of the equipment and metals in the parts. These corrosions and abrasions caused by these materials will eventually cause the thickness of the equipment to be lost. If these things are not taken care of and this thickness is completely lost, breakage and tearing may occur in the equipment. If this happens during the operation of the refinery, it may lead to accidents, fires and massive explosions. Pollution and incidents happen over time in the stages of refining oil and products because of these defects that were mentioned. This is where overhaul operations or major repairs become necessary. This operation has special standards in the world. It is implemented in all refineries according to the plans and according to the required schedule.
