Nitration shutdown maintenance

Pumps and auxiliary nitration equipment

The maintenance breakdown lists five pump groups totalling seventeen: groups of four and six acid pumps, two tower pumps, two pumps in another process section and three pumps in an associated operating area. These are the pumps included in the service scope.

Alongside rotating equipment, the shutdown covered steam and condensate systems, towers with a fan and one water tank. The contract linked machine maintenance with the associated process utilities.

Vacuum-pump bedframe and work structure

The vacuum-pump bedframe was a separate item, with its material and labour portions identified in the cost breakdown. The overall scope was divided into nine work packages tied to a common shutdown window.

The seventeen pumps define the maintenance scope across the individual operating sections.

Completion

The handover protocol confirms completion and handover of the shutdown work as of 24 August 2026. The scope was subsequently invoiced as one completed contract.
