Petrochemical Plant Maintenance
The petrochemical industry is a hugely vast and varied industry that produces materials for almost all areas of modern society. Natural resources such as petroleum and natural gases undergo several transformations to become compounds such as plastics, synthetic rubber, solvents, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, additives, explosives and adhesives. With these materials being used as the key building blocks in a wide variety of durable and nondurable consumer goods, petrochemicals play a major role within the manufacturing industry.
Although few of us make the connection between consumer goods and petrochemicals, the process of converting petroleum and natural gases into synthetics materials is a very complex one. And as with any complex process comes the increased likelihood of things going wrong. It’s therefore no surprise that production poses a constant challenge to plant engineers and planners, with the potential that business production rates will suffer as a result.
