yeah, let's run every pump, valve, fin/fan, pipe, tubing, roto meter, cooling tower, I mean everything wide arse open. yeah that's how we design plants to run. I mean it's exactly like a jambalaya pot right? Let's do it 100% of the time too, and then let's never have a turnaround for maintenance, and then let's listen to laymen's advice on the margins being made and how it's ridiculous, that just because we invest billions of dollars on that equipment that the public is entitled to have the lowest cost.

What the hell are you talking about? They are literally built to design specs for this. Running a pump below it's curve is just as bad as above. Most run better at their nameplate than they do derated by any amount.

Refineries are built with spares to run their nameplate rates.
