VCE Practices™

Comprehensive engineering practices that help optimize your equipment life cycle costs

The VCEPractices (VCEPs) is a management system to design, build, buy, commission, maintain, monitor, test, inspect, repair and modify refinery equipment. Designed to satisfy industry directives, and focused on sharing industry Best Practices, the VCEPs have been used on numerous capital projects.

  • Built on industry Best Practices
  • Successfully used for major capital projects & revamps
  • Customized to your site
  • Consistent with regulatory requirements
  • Low cost to license & maintain
  • On-call support from technical experts

Packaged Industry Standards Are Not Enough

The VCEPs offer detailed and precise specifications compared to industry standards that often reflect the lowest common denominator. Compared to other collections of specifications, the VCEPs are:

  • Customized to the refining industry - including specialty items (for example, FCC slide valves, heavy wall Cr-Mo reactors)
  • Detailed & comprehensive - saving time and money
  • A complete management system - assuring compliance with PSM
  • A state-of-the-art resource - containing both new equipment Practices and Maintenance Best Practices, updated annually
  • Web-based for information sharing - fostering a technical network, developing site expertise, facilitating creation of a corporate memory
  • Low cost to license and maintain - providing valuable intellectual property with no cost to develop
  • No hassle - E2G manages the entire process

Why VCEPractices?

The VCEPs are a management system consistent with PSM requirements - not just a collection of individual practices. The VCEP system offers:

  • Electronic Adobe PDF format, accessible via corporate network or E2G web server
  • Hyperlinked and searchable
  • Piping classes and valve data sheets accessible via web-based database
  • Forms in MS Word for electronic data entry and API datasheets in Adobe Acrobat
  • Deviations posted on website and linked to deviated Practice
  • Website maintained by E2G for vendors - nothing to distribute
  • Option to customize with your corporate name and logo
