A turnaround is a scheduled event where an entire process unit of an industrial plant (refinery, petrochemical plant, power plant, pulp mill, etc.) is taken off-stream for an extended period of time for repair or renewal. Turnaround is a blanket term that encompasses more specific terms such as inspection & testing, debottlenecking projects, revamps and catalyst regeneration projects.
Turnarounds are expensive in terms of lost production while the processing unit is offline and in terms of direct cost for labor, tools, equipment and materials to execute the project. Turnarounds can affect the company’s bottom line if mismanaged.
