Unparalleled Performance and Results

• TIMEC currently holds long-term (10+years) catalyst handling agreements with many of the world’s major petroleum corporations, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips.
• A major TIMEC client used the company’s Job Hazards Analysis (JHA) methodology as the basis for their own related programs.
• During a 2006 Major Turnkey Project on a set of Cat-Feed Hydrotreaters, James-TIMEC simultaneously performed an inert entry, vacuum unload and Densicat reload on two 3 bed reactors. On this project, we performed in excess of 16,000 man hours without a recordable or even a near miss incident. In addition to the catalyst handling work, we performed all mechanical work including blinding, removal / installation of the inlet heads and outlet lines, thermo wells, quench lines and manways.
