A new trajectory for Nigeria's refineries

A turn-around is a planned, periodic shut down (total or partial) of a refinery process unit or plant, to perform safe and efficient maintenance and repair operations, overhaul, inspect, test, and replace process materials/equipment.

It is a normal oil refinery industry housekeeping standard all over the world, except in Nigeria, where, for example, the Kaduna refinery did not receive any industry standard  HYPERLINK “http://www.nigerianmuse.com/20081222231303zg/nm-projects/energy-development-project/the-kaduna-refinery-turn-around-maintenance-tam/” TAM for over 10 years.

Think for a moment about your car.  For it to run safely and smoothly, it needs a tune-up every 3,000 miles or so to replace and maintain parts that wear out through normal usage.  It is the same situation with a refinery, only unlike your car, a refinery has over 20 major processing units that cannot all be serviced at the same time.

My solution is to initiate a program by selecting from our best and brightest graduate and professional engineers/scientists, and attach them, as a group, to all our refineries and process industries.  We can even have a “trouble-shooting” squad with a concentration of brain power comparable to foreign consultants.  We shall train and attach each group/team to a process unit for 1, 2, or 3 years, until they become experts on each assigned unit [e.g., distillate FCCUs (Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units), Resid FCCUs, Hydrocrackers, Reformers (both semi-regenerative and continuous catalytic regeneration types), cokers, coke-calciners, visbreakers, merox, hydrotreaters for kero-and-gasoil streams, etc.].

They must be clearly educated with respect to strategies, goals, and purpose of their own activities within the overall plan.  If this is intellectually and soundly based on engineering and scientific principles, rather than on politics, we will quickly become energy independent, and would not then need to pay foreign experts like UOP, Chevron, IFP, Stone & Webster, Mobil, Haldor Topsoe, KTI/Technip, Linde, CD-Tech, Stork Comprimo, etc.  We may still need them initially for major maintenance involving new equipment, e.g., sensors, heat exchangers, compressors, centrifugal/reciprocating pumps, rotors, etc.), and as licensors of ISO (International Standard Organization) certified documentations and manuals, to ensure a safe refinery.

A new trajectory for Nigeria's refineries

A good maintenance workshop must have: a machine-tool shop; machinists, pipe fitters, welders, instrumentation technicians, constant supply of spare parts, a good work order system, statistical quality control system, and a good safety measure system.
