Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu National Petrochemical Company (Yansab) said it has successfully undertaken a major turnaround in full compliance with the company’s strict health, safety and reliability protocols in line with global best practices and commitment to upholding high maintenance standards at its plants.Â
Yansab, a manufacturing affiliate of global petrochemicals giant Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic), had carried out this maintenance exercise for the first time on such a large scale since it began commercial operations in 2010.
During the mega 52-day turnaround, Yansab, carried out critical asset-integrity inspections and repairs to ensure long-term safe and sustainable operations.
Yansab plans aspire to cut CO2 emissions at least by 20% within the next seven years as aligned with the Saudi Green Initiative.
