THE PARADIGMS FOR THE REFINING FUTURE “The only given in this shifting landscape is that refining excellence is imperative in all input, output and asset related dimension.” Source: AT Kearney’s Paper on Refining 2021 -Who will be in the game? “Achieving 97+ % in Operational Availability allows refinery staff the time needed to focus on improving efficiency.” Source: Solomon Associates - 2012 study report for IOC
UNPLANNED SHUTDOWN ANALYSIS - FY 2013-14 (Apr-Jan)Root Cause Analysis of Unplanned Shutdowns (35 nos.) REFINERIES Main Focus Areas for improvement
THE CHALLENGE Increase We are confronted with two overriding challenges: • Increasing “Up-time” or availability of plant. • Delivering required levels of availability at levels of cost equal to or better than competitors. The Goal is “Pacesetting Performance” Availability Objective Cost Reduce Pacesetting Performance
THE OPPORTUNITY…. • Significant performance gap between “Pacesetters” and poorer performance. • Availability – Pacesetter > 10% higher • Maintenance cost – Pacesetters costs <30% of poorer performers. • Maintenance cost performance gap can be worth in excess of 60c/bbl. • Pacesetters achieve both High Availability and Low Cost.

Safety & Reliability are inseparable They are two sides of the same coin. And, energy efficiency forms the third dimension – intertwined with safety and reliability.
RELIABILITY • Reliability is directly related to plant availability. • Plant availability is ability of plant to deliver desired function without interruption. • Reliability is measured by: • Plant Availability Factor (PAF). • Number of interruptions or unplanned shutdowns. • Mean Time Between Interruptions (MTBI) during Target run-length.
UNIT INTERRUPTIONS & RELIABILITY • Interruptions impact Margin: • Increased Fuel & loss due to frequent startup and shutdown • Increased efforts. • Increased slop generation / off-spec. products / effluents. • Likelihood of statutory non compliance • Disturbs Harmony with neighborhood. • Thermal shock on equipment leading to unsafe situation, fires etc. • Impact on profitability. • Increased Repair & Maintenance Expenditure. • Reduced catalyst life. • Increased Catalyst & Chemicals Expenditure • May lead to long outage of Catalyst based Units which are profit yielding. • Emergency sourcing of Spares,Services,Catalyst,Chemicals. • Higher Price- Opportunity Cost • Increased exposure to Audit, Vigilance • Increased employee cost. • Increased stress level & work life imbalance.
UNIT INTERRUPTIONS & RELIABILITY The main pillars of Autonomous Maintenance, Focused Improvement, Planned Maintenance, Quality Maintenance and Early Management need to be strengthened.
MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS From “as-is” to “To-be”
HOW TO ENHANCE RELIABILITY COMPREHENSIVE CULTURE CHANGE REQUIRED • Multi-disciplinary systemic approach. • Operation and Maintenance function as a team. • Treating each maintenance event as an opportunity to up-rate / upgrade. • Using reliable redundancy. • Adopt world-class best practices. • Leverage OEM experience and design resources to improve performance. • Introduce and incubate new technologies aggressively. • Get external domain experts to show you the mirror – audits / business improvement programs.
