Turnaround Duration Study

Solomon is your trusted guide to sustainable performance excellence. From closing gaps and addressing challenges identified in one of our benchmarking studies, to receiving expert guidance to address a wide range of operational opportunities or challenges, we can help.

Our Greenhouse Gas Services provide an in-depth understanding of the new carbon economy. Through decades of industry analysis, we have developed the largest proprietary database of carbon and energy management data in the world, setting the standard for GHG emission benchmarking in the industry.

Solomon’s Deep Drill-Down (3D) Performance Analysis helps clarify situations by focusing on improvement objectives and designing and performing a custom analysis of existing benchmarking data to determine the root cause of inefficiencies.

Solomon's Lube Study measures areas critical to your success: reliability, equipment utilization, operating expenses, competitive gross margin, and industry performance ranges. >50% of lube base oil capacity is represented. 3,000–5,000 data points per facility are collected.

Solomon's Power Cogeneration Study was founded by experts with decades of experience managing power generation facilities to ensure that you receive valuable and practical insight to support sustained performance improvement.

Solomon's Combined Site Study provides valuable insight into industry trends and key performance areas of your own refineries at the combined-site level. All of these studies help you identify the level of performance improvement needed to remain competitive.

Solomon’s Process Control Systems Study provides visibility into how your process control systems—Distributed Control Systems (DCSs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Safety Instrumentation Systems (SISs), Plant Historians, on-line instrumentation, etc.—compare to your peers.

If your organization is new to one of our studies or has experienced challenges completing the study data input forms, Solomon can help. Data quality and a proven benchmarking methodology enable results and insight you can trust. Contact us today!

The World’s Best Refineries report looks beyond the benchmarking numbers of the Fuels Study to examine a special group of refineries—World’s Best Peer Group. The peer group identifies refineries that were the best at the “business” of refining over three study cycles (six years). Learn what sets the World’s Best refineries apart from the rest, and how you can improve your performance.

Delayed cokers analysis identifies areas for improvement. The database included 76 cokers with a 2- or 3-drum configuration and 73 cokers with a 4-drum or larger configuration. The analysis focused on identifying units that demonstrated sustainable, cost-effective, and high operational availability while yielding the largest percentage of non-coke products.

Look beyond the numbers to answer key questions. Solomon’s Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Unit Analysis report shows what it takes to achieve World’s Best performance.

Learn how your peers are improving their refinery energy performance. The report looks beyond the benchmarking numbers of Solomon’s Worldwide Fuels Refinery Performance Analysis (Fuels Study) to examine the performance trends of multiple groups of refineries (a.k.a., Custom Peer Groups) over a 10-year period.

Comprehensive training that draws from a historical, proprietary library of industry best practices and proven methodologies, plus the real-world knowledge from experienced consultants.
