In petrochemical plants and refineries, even a short period of downtime can translate into massive financial losses. During scheduled turnarounds, hydrocarbon drain operations require hose assemblies built for maximum safety, chemical resistance, and fast deployment. That’s where Shipyard Supply, in partnership with Gates, delivers dependable solutions.
