Beyond the Surface: Verifying Refractory Integrity
Unbiased Oversight: Auditing for True Quality
This service provides a formal engineering assessment of a used refractory lining to determine its fitness for a defined period of continued service. It is in high demand in petrochemical and refinery turnarounds as it saves millions by justifying a life extension without a full reline.
This service mitigates risk at the earliest stage. It includes auditing potential contractors and suppliers, reviewing their qualifications, past project performance, and financial stability. This is a crucial step for capital projects to ensure the team on the ground is competent and will deliver quality work in compliance with API 936.
This is a non-negotiable service for critical projects. An API 936 certified inspector provides full-time, on-site supervision of the installation process. This includes witnessing critical hold points and verifying that all material mixing, application, curing, and dry-out procedures are executed correctly and in strict accordance with the specifications.
During planned or unplanned shutdowns, a detailed refractory inspection is critical. This service involves a rapid, on-site assessment of all refractory-lined vessels, stacks, and components. The goal is to identify all necessary repairs and create an optimized work scope to minimize downtime and get the plant back online quickly.
This service is for plants that have experienced a costly failure. We conduct a meticulous investigation to determine the exact cause of a failure. The ultimate value is in providing actionable recommendations to prevent it from happening again.
In regulated industries, a project is only as good as its paperwork. This service provides a meticulous audit of all project documentation, from material certificates and test results to final inspection reports. We ensure all records are complete, accurate, and ready for official review, satisfying the stringent requirements of both clients and regulatory bodies.
Acting as the owner's certified representative is a high-level service that provides complete assurance and a single point of accountability. Your role is to represent the owner's best interests on a project, from the initial bid document review to final sign-off, ensuring all work and records are compliant with both project specifications and API 936 standards.
This service focuses on the continuous improvement of refractory linings. It involves auditing an asset's performance over its campaign life to identify trends in wear, predict future failures, and optimize operational practices. This data-driven approach helps clients maximize their return on investment by systematically extending the service life of their refractory systems.
A successful QMS requires clear and accessible documentation. We provide hands-on assistance in developing all necessary QMS documentation, manuals, and procedures, ensuring your team has a clear and consistent framework to follow.
