Crane Failure Incident Affects Turnaround at Australia's Geelong Refinery

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Viva Energy Australia Limited (VEA) (Melbourne, Australia) experienced a crane failure at its 120,000-barrel-per-day Geelong Refinery on June 7, which caused a compressor to drop to the ground, during a major maintenance turnaround. Due to additional compressor repair and maintenance work, the Platformer CCR and Gasoline Hydrotreater (HDS1) turnaround activities, which were originally scheduled to be completed by June 30, are now expected to extend until late September.
