Comprehensive inspection support during a major refinery turnaround
AETERNA provided inspection support during a major refinery turnaround covering multiple process units. Scope included API 510 pressure vessel inspections, API 570 piping inspections, heater tube assessments, and storage tank inspections per API 653.
35-day shutdown window with extensive inspection scope
250+ vessels, 15 km piping, 20 heaters
25 API-certified inspectors and NDT technicians
The turnaround had a tight window of 35 days requiring efficient planning. Coordination with contractors, shutdown sequence optimization, and rapid data reporting were critical.
We deployed a 25-person inspection team including API-certified inspectors and NDT technicians. Pre-TAR planning optimized inspection routes and data collection. Advanced NDT methods including PAUT, TOFD, and IRIS reduced inspection time. Digital data management enabled real-time reporting.
