Turnaround – Definition and Pronunciation
What is Turnaround?
Turnaround is a period of brisk activity at a plant or receiving terminal when processing units, or portions of them, are shut down either for scheduled maintenance or for the installation of new equipment and systems.
Examples of Turnaround
At the gas delivery terminal, it is also desired to limit turnaround time. Therefore, the ship is provided with a liquid displacement system that ejects the cargo from storage in an efficient and controlled manner.
