Tracerco has launched a new technical insight series, “Andy’s Classroom”, giving engineers and industry professionals access to practical expertise on shutdowns, turnarounds and advanced diagnostic technologies.

The six-month series features 18 short lessons from Andy Burleigh, Senior Technical Advisor at Tracerco, drawing on more than 20 years of downstream industry experience.

The series follows the recent publication of a thought leadership article from Fabio Pires, Managing Director of Tracerco’s Process Diagnostics business, exploring how better diagnostic information can help operators make more informed decisions around shutdowns and turnarounds.

Shutdowns and turnarounds are essential to maintaining and upgrading refining, petrochemical and chemical assets, but they can also introduce significant downtime, cost and operational uncertainty. Understanding what is happening inside an asset before, during and after these events can provide valuable insight for planning and decision-making.

In today's refining and petrochemical environments, every hour counts. Whether planning maintenance activities, responding to process challenges or preparing for a shutdown, operators need accurate diagnostic information quickly to make informed decisions.

For many years, Tracerco has helped customers visualise internal process conditions using industry-leading diagnostic technologies such as Tru-Scan™ and Tru-Grid™. However, as customer expectations evolved, so did the need for faster access to actionable insights.

Over the past year, Tracerco has transformed the way scan data is analysed and reported, significantly reducing turnaround times and enabling customers to act faster than ever before.
