Frequently asked questions
What is plant life extension?
A multi-year engagement model that keeps ageing plant in safe service through upgrades, replacements, inspection-interval reset, integrity operating window redrawing, risk-based inspection re-rating, and risk-mitigation strategies.
Does TCR restart idle plants?
Yes. Idle-plant restart engagements feed into plant life extension, and the practice has returned mothballed fertiliser assets to service at Matix Fertilizers and Nagarjuna Fertilizers.
Which plants has TCR taken through idle-plant restart?
Named engagements include PIC Kuwait, Notore Chemical, Baiji Refinery, Godrej Industries, Matix Fertilizers, Nagarjuna Fertilizers, and Heavy Water Projects.
What standards govern the integrity work in a life-extension programme?
Integrity operating windows are set per API RP 584, and risk-based inspection is run per API 580 and API 581.
