The Ethylene Database helps identify, pursue, and track opportunities associated with maintenance turnaround work within (60) North and South American ethylene production units. Subscriptions include access to plant database information, unit profiles, and turnaround reports that are updated on a weekly and monthly schedule. Research for plant details, turnarounds, and project activities are performed using our direct phone verification methods to ensure accuracy in all database information.
About the Industry
The ethylene market has been stressed by large reductions in demand over the last year leading to multiple permanent unit closures. With no substantial amount of new capacity expected to startup any time soon, maintenance turnarounds and plant reliability become increasingly important. As demand recovers over the next couple of years, plant owners will be pressured to meet the increased demand with the current installed capacity making turnarounds an even costlier event. Our database allows subscribers to track of future and unplanned turnarounds plus monitor the schedule changes as they occur.
Plant and Unit Database
The Ethylene Database includes access to details on 33 U.S. and Canadian ethylene plants, with profiles on 50 production units plus 4 ethylene plants and their units in South America. Plant information includes: Owner and Operator Names, Physical and Mailing Addresses, Phone and Fax Numbers, Plant Operations Details, and nine functional management contacts. Unit details include: unit name, owner, operator, capacities, and contacts. |

Unit Turnaround Tracking
Subscribers have instant access to all future planned and unplanned ethylene unit turnarounds within the database including historical information. New turnaround information including schedule updates and unit status are delivered as it is discovered throughout the month. Turnaround data includes the schedule start date and duration, combined with plant and unit details. When maintenance turnarounds occur in this industry, the spending is significant, mainly because most major ethylene plants commonly do not schedule turnarounds but once every few years. The average duration of a turnaround is 25 days, with an average cost of $15 million. |
