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.

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 analyzes plant performance data, benchmarks against peers to identify gaps, and provides insight into where clients should focus their improvement efforts. The benchmarking study results can be used to improve target-setting, prioritize spending, and develop action plans.

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 Aromatics Study provides a global perspective on the performance highs and lows of all your units, regardless of location, starting with your aggregate complex performance and moving down in granularity to the level of the individual unit.

Solomon’s Worldwide Natural Gas Processing Plant Performance Analysis provides insight into the status of your plant in all key performance areas and data-driven analysis to focus and justify performance improvement efforts.

Compare your LNG performance to your industry peers on the basis of size, feedstock, age, and region. Our database contains performance metrics data for >45 plants worldwide.

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 Plant Turnaround Duration Analysis gives you visibility into top-performing turnarounds & equips you with the tools to enhance your turnaround performance. Learn where your turnaround performance excelled or fell short by comparing it to others in the industry.
