Case Studies

A refinery client experienced a frequent feed filter backwashing issue that affected unit reliability and performance.

GMC provided practical troubleshooting support by reviewing operating behavior, field conditions, and process/equipment interfaces to identify and resolve the recurring issue. 

A savings of $735,000/day. Total cost: $2MM, with a 2-3 day payout.

A hydroprocessing unit required improvement in turnaround planning, execution readiness, and downtime performance. 

GMC benchmarked the turnaround process, reviewed operations-related schedule risks, and identified improvements in procedures, readiness, and execution sequencing.

Projected savings of approximately $12.8MM annually through enhanced procedures and reduced downtime.

A hydrocracker unit experienced reactor maldistribution that affected permormance, yield, and reliability.

GMC supported troubleshooting and optimization by reviewing operating behavior, process conditions, and practical field/technical indicators.

A capital project in Southeast Asia experienced completion and turnover challenges, affecting execution confidence and startup readiness.

GMC developed and implemented a systems completion program, including turnover structure, verification expectations, and completion assurance processes.

The program helped recover a challenged project and delivered savings of $5-10MM.

A Middle Eastern refiner required a more immersive training method to improve operator understanding, proficiency, and safety performance. 

GMC designed an immersive VR-based operator training platform to support operational proficiency, equipment/process understanding, and safe performance. 

The platform supported improved operator capability and safety awareness.
