Refinery Industry Maintenance Training from TPC

Solutions for Electrical, Mechanical, HVAC, and other Technician Teams

One of the most high-stakes and demanding environments in heavy industry, refinery environments require specialized skills for maintenance team members. Technicians and repair personnel must be prepared for both routine maintenance and turnarounds with elevated risks. Organizing hundreds or even thousands of technicians during these periods adds safety challenges due to an influx of contractors at the site.

Calculated risks are an everyday challenge, but if their skills are not up to snuff, those calculations might result in accidents and loss of costly equipment and environmental harm. It's critical that technicians in refineries can balance technical aptitude with conscientiousness towards environmental risks and the drive to do the right repair the first time.

Training Improves Refinery Safety

Operational complexity, legacy equipment, outdated systems — these are part of refinery technicians' day-to-day. If they aren't looking at early warning signs or don't understand how to validate and act on anomalies, those early warning signs won't prevent the inevitable. TPC provides refinery maintenance teams better knowledge based on best practices and a process to find the root cause of faults faster. This enables them to turn insight into action, reduce the duration of shutdowns, and improve reliability by:

Planning Outages

Highly trained workers can plan outages, so production can shift and downtime is minimized.

Accurately Tracking Data

Accurately tracked maintenance and sensor data helps technicians identify emerging issues early, prioritize repairs effectively, and prevent costly refinery equipment failures.

Relying on Leading Indicators

Using leading indicators like vibration, temperature, or pressure trends enables technicians to predict failures and reduce unplanned downtime.

Understanding Legacy & Modern Machines

Understanding both legacy and modern refinery equipment enables technicians to diagnose issues quickly, bridge technology gaps, and maintain safe, reliable, and efficient operations.
