Olefin and aromatic complexes, ammonia and fertilizer plants, polymer and intermediate units. Pressure equipment, piping, welding, and procedural audits.
INDUSTRY FRAMING
Why Petrochemical buyers come to PSG
Petrochemical owners run continuous processes with narrow margins for both safety incidents and unplanned downtime. Our work concentrates on the inspection regimes that prevent both: pre-shipment QA of pressure equipment, welding program audits, NDT witnessing during fabrication and turnaround.
