Another major event in the life cycle of a plant is a plant turnaround. It is a time when predictive diagnostics make a powerful contribution and when Emerson’s expertise can deliver a crucial difference.

Turnarounds are the single largest maintenance expense for most plants. Every hour of downtime has an impact on your bottom line. That’s why it’s so important to get the job done right—and as quickly as possible.

The whole idea of a turnaround is to perform maintenance smoothly and efficiently, then get back up and running quickly. In a traditional plant, you simply return to previous production levels. But in the Optimized Plant, equipment upgrades and predictive technologies are implemented during the shutdown. Higher production levels can be attained and sustained, and intervals between turnarounds are extended.

Predictive diagnostics from key production assets are critical drivers to a successful and efficient turnaround. They can determine the scope of the turnaround and will allow you to work smarter, more targeted, and cost-effectively to complete the turnaround on schedule and get your plant back online.

When it comes to turnarounds, no one is more qualified to service your plant than Emerson. Our asset reliability services experts use predictive diagnostics to asses the condition of your electrical, mechanical, process equipment, instruments, and valves. We will use the diagnostics to make recommendations for work to be performed during the outage. With predictive maintenance technologies, we can know in advance what assets will need work, what work will need to be done, and what order we should do it in for maximum efficiency.

In the Optimized Plant, unplanned outages are virtually eliminated, replaced by turnarounds that are quick, smooth, and conducted according to schedule. Now that’s a Smart Turnaround^™!
