COURSE OVERVIEW:

The core meaning of this course is the specialized application of work management principles within the high-hazard, high-complexity environment of a modern refinery. Refinery maintenance is distinct due to the presence of extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive fluids, alongside the critical need for environmental compliance. This course focuses on the "Best Practices" that differentiate world-class refineries, emphasizing the integration of safety, reliability, and profitability in every maintenance activity.

The scope of this training involves the technical management of refinery-specific assets, including piping systems, heat exchangers, reactors, and rotating equipment. Participants will examine the "Work Control" cycle through the lens of refinery safety protocols, such as Hot Work permitting, Confined Space entry, and Flange Management. The curriculum emphasizes the planning of "High-Frequency/Low-Impact" daily maintenance alongside the "Low-Frequency/High-Impact" execution of unit outages and equipment overhauls.

Coverage includes the optimization of "Refinery Spare Parts," the management of "Specialized Contractors" during outages, and the implementation of "Risk-Based Maintenance" for static equipment. Attendees will explore the use of advanced "Condition Monitoring" for large turbomachinery and the technical troubleshooting of process-maintenance interfaces. By the end of this course, participants will be able to lead a refinery maintenance team that achieves maximum availability and mechanical integrity while adhering to the highest standards of safety and environmental stewardship.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the unique "Reliability and Safety" challenges of refinery maintenance.
• Implement "Best Practice" Work Planning for high-hazard process units.
• Manage "Flange Management and Joint Integrity" to prevent leaks.
• Optimize "Heat Exchanger" maintenance and cleaning cycles.
• Utilize "RBI" findings to prioritize static equipment inspections.
• Implement "Precision Maintenance" for large pumps and compressors.
• Design a "Refinery-Specific" spare parts stocking and kitting strategy.
• Manage "Specialized Maintenance Contractors" for safety and quality.
• Utilize "Thermal Imaging and Ultrasound" in a refinery environment.
• Implement a "Flawless Startup" program for process equipment.
• Analyze "Maintenance Spend" vs. "Asset Performance" in the refinery.
• Foster an "Integrity-First" culture among the refinery maintenance crew.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is essential for Refinery Maintenance Managers, Reliability Engineers, Static Equipment Specialists, Refinery Planners, and Operations Coordinators.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
