Shutdown and Turnaround: 2nd Global Edition will be held at Doha

The budget set aside for a turnaround consumes a significant portion of a plant's yearly maintenance budget and can affect the company's bottom line if mismanaged.

The volatile nature of the processes involved in a shutdown adds to this and makes the whole operation highly challenging.

Praxis Global Research will host the second technical event in the Shutdown and Turnaround series which aims to address the most critical issues faced during plant turnarounds.

The Shutdown and Turnaround: 2nd Global Edition will be held at Doha, Qatar from 11th until 13th February 2013 which has a target audience of shutdown professionals from refineries, petrochemicals & gas plants.

The committee follows a unique format to achieve the workshop objective and it will run for three days which will consists of master classes, technical sessions involving case study analysis, presentations, live demos from technology providers, and interactive brainstorming sessions.

The 2nd Global Edition follows the hugely successful launched event - 2012 Global Shutdown and Turnaround Workshop hosted last May 2012. The event had heavy operator presence from the region and included Borouge, Qatar Gas, ADGAS, ADMA-OPCO, ADCO, Saudi Aramco, PDO, Petro Rabigh, Sipchem, Dugas, NATPET, Azzawiya Oil Refining Co., Nigeria LNG, Arya Sasol Polymer Co. and other leading technology providers such as Draeger, National Mechanical Engineering Services, GE Power and Water and Sankyu-Manar SA Co.
