Refining & Processing

Refiners turn to Bureau Veritas to assist them throughout the lifecycle of their assets, minimizing their costs, optimizing maintenance and improving performance.

MANAGING THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR ASSETS

YOUR CHALLENGES

Within refining facilities, a vast diversity of techniques is needed to properly refine petroleum crude oil, and to process and purify raw natural gas. Refiners need a complete suite of inspection and measurement services to carry assets throughout their lifecycles, while minimizing overall maintenance costs and improving performance. Additionally, personnel and subcontractor safety is always a top priority in refineries, where the risk of explosion remains a major concern.
