Oil Refining

Industry Requirements

Oil refining is a 24/7 operation, with equipment held to the highest reliability standards.

Minutes of unexpected downtime have an enormous financial impact at oil refineries. Aside from maintaining steady operations, refineries are challenged with complying with environmental regulations, while maintaining a viable project budget. Due to the explosive atmosphere, plant operators must also take extreme precautions with their equipment to ensure a safe environment for employees.
