Effective turnaround management begins with comprehensive planning and scheduling. Typically, preparation starts 12 to 18 months in advance and involves cross-functional coordination between operations, maintenance, engineering, procurement, safety, and external contractors. The planning phase includes scope definition, risk assessment, cost estimation, procurement of materials and spares, and the development of detailed execution schedules. Prioritizing critical equipment such as reformers, converters, compressors, heat exchangers, and urea strippers ensures that high-impact areas receive the attention they need.
