The machines have been running 24 hrs/day for over 70 years. Fer persective yer looking at about 100 tons worth.

Nopers, that process unit is slated to be mothballed in 4 years due to California's cap and trade evironmental laws.
There's a possibility it could be eventually sold and installed overseas but I'll probably be retired by then.

Sorry bout the pic, doan know how to crop using MS paint.
Them hold down bolts on the compressor's feet take a 4" socket. The turbine was originally rated at 4000 hp but we've upped that by about 50% over the years.

the last time it was overhauled was in 2003. it was running fine when we shut the unit down for maintenance and this machine was overhauled to make sure it runs well utill the next scheduled unit shutdown (4 years). That's how we do it in bidness.

Except you're totally wrong. The original lyric is "cut loose like a deuce". You're the only one who thinks it's funny at this point. The song is forty years old and not that great to begin with.
