Reliability, Availability, Inspection, and Equipment Support Services
In the hydrocarbon processing industry, downtime is simply not an
option. In fact, unplanned downtime can cost a refinery upwards of
$1 million per day. However, proactive reliability and maintenance
programs can not only decrease your annual maintenance costs but, more
importantly, improve operational availability – helping you earn
millions of dollars each year.
Look to UOP's experts for innovative ways to
help you improve reliability, upgrade maintenance programs, and increase
operational availability – all while optimizing maintenance costs.
With more than 60 years of experience, we understand the dramatic impact of
improved reliability and maintenance performance on your on-stream time and
profitability. Our studies have shown that optimized reliability and maintenance
programs can increase operational availability up to 10%, decrease maintenance
costs by 10 – 20%, and reduce both the number and severity of unplanned
process interruptions.
Recently, we enabled a client to advance from a reactive to a proactive maintenance
program, resulting in savings of $5 million annually. Their maintenance expenditures
were reduced by 40%, while their already good availability was improved by
4%.
Our experienced Reliability Services group works with experts from every discipline
within UOP – mechanical equipment design, inspection, metallurgy, corrosion
control, and reliability and maintenance – to better identify your opportunities
and then develop and implement corresponding solutions.
We analyze all of your existing assets, paying particular attention to process
reliability, asset integrity management, turnaround optimization and loss prevention.
We also provide discrete inspection services, heater
monitoring and specialized equipment support.
If you’re in the refining business, you can’t afford to be off-line,
and you can’t afford to operate without a strategic maintenance plan
in place. Find out how UOP can provide your refinery with reliability and maintenance
