en.Wedoany.com Reported - Refinería Talara has initiated the first comprehensive inspection of the Flexicoking (FCK) unit, strictly following the recommendations of the patent licensor, ExxonMobil. This measure aims to enhance industrial safety, reliability, and integrity of one of the refinery's most complex units, whose operation is critical to maximizing the production of high-value fuels.
The inspection scope covers static equipment, electrical systems, instrumentation systems, refractory materials, pipelines, and structures that constitute the four sections of the Flexicoking unit, with the goal of preventing risk scenarios, ensuring optimal operating conditions, and protecting personnel and facilities. This will help improve plant reliability, meet production plans, and extend asset service life.
This inspection is considered one of the most rigorous and complex within the refinery, with an execution plan encompassing unit shutdown, comprehensive maintenance, and gradual restart of operations, totaling approximately 90 days. The work is supported by highly specialized international contractors, suppliers, and the patent licensor providing technical assistance to ensure the adoption of global best practices, advanced technologies, and execution under strict quality and safety standards.
