• Schedule turnaround:
– Unit process faced corrosion, erosion, wear, and fatigue along
the operation.
– Schedule of planned shutdowns for maintenance and repairs.
– A planned shutdown of this type is called a turnaround (TAR)
– May last for 15 to 30 days or longer, depending on the extent of
repairs needed.
Introduction

• Unit inspections:
– When do the major inspection of unit equipment, shutdown is
needed.
– Such as to check vessel integrity and corrosion rates.

• Emergency
situations:
– Emergencies such as a
major fire, explosion, or a
complete electrical power
failure may require the
shutdown of a unit.

• Business downturns:
– Sometimes production exceeds product sales because of
business downturns.
– In this situation, process units reduce production rates or, if
necessary, circulate for a period of time.
– In the worse case scenario, the unit is shut down and its
operators are sent to other units or the maintenance division
until the business climate becomes more favorable.

• Pumps:
– Pump seal may damage during product pump out if pump are
allowed to run dry.
• It I importance to shutdown mechanical seal pumps immediately
before liquid levels are depleted.
• Furnace and Boiler:
– Fuel line must be blinded after fuel is shut off for protective
against a possible firebox explosion from inadvertently
introducing fuel into still hot fireboxes.
– When shutting down furnace fires, the master valve must be
closed and burner must be remain lighted in order to burn
residue fuel in fuel line.
5. Unit Clear Up
KEMAMAN
• Blinding:
– A Blind must be installed to keep unwanted materials out of the
recently purged systems.
• Blinds are metal plates that completely block flow in piping and
vessels.
– Install at piping or before equipment entrance.
– All required blinds have been installed before anyone enters
equipment.
– All blinds are removed before unit startup.
