Refining and Petrochemicals Routine Maintenance, Planning, and Control

All mechanical and automated equipment in a refining installation needs periodic maintenance or repairs. Unscheduled repairs (reactive or emergency maintenance) can be very disruptive and costly. Planning, organization, and the right personnel can maximize cost efficiency and safety in an oil refinery. Routine maintenance programs can also be efficiently planned and executed. In this eLearning course, you will learn about the different types of routine maintenance, the relations between the stakeholders, the communication flows, the critical elements to ensure successful routine maintenance, the use of CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), and the safety aspects related to the routine maintenance, among other related subjects.

Target Audience

Process engineers, planning and economics engineers, inspection engineers, HSE engineers, maintenance engineers and supervisors, laboratory managers and supervisors, turnaround planners and operation supervisors.
