Mothballing is the process of stabilizing a facility so that no damage occurs to the facility should it make sense at a later time to incur the capital expenditures associated with continuing to operate, extending the life, or repowering the facility. Typically, a decision to mothball a facility might be made as a hedge against, or in anticipation of, changes in market conditions; i.e., increases in relative fuel prices, or an increase in the value of installed capacity. ... Typical activities involved in mothballing a facility might include the following types of activities intended to preserve existing equipment: - 'Racking Out' or removal and storage of motor control center circuit breakers or 'switchgear' (this would also be done for a facility that has been retired and is scheduled for dismantling) - Placing a heat source or desiccants in the furnace to maintain a temperature above the dew point (at which condensation collects and corrodes the boiler structures.) - The application of grease or other coatings to reduce corrosion of components such as pumps and motors. - The installation of an air desiccant system to blow dry air through the steam turbine, condenser, boiler tubes and pipes. 2, record 1, English, - mothballing

«Mise sous cocon» nous apparaît un peu trop spécifique, la «coconisation» signifiant l'enrobage de matériel sous pellicule plastique pulvérisée. On pourrait peut-être songer à des expressions plus neutres, du type «mise sous protection», «entreposage de sécurité». 4, record 1, French, - mise%20sous%20surveillance

... the loss of 1,600 jobs implies closure rather than a realistic mothball. Proper mothballing would leave enough people in place to pick up production as soon as an opportunity arises. Therefore keeping people in work must be a priority ...

Dernière solution une «mise sous cocon», c’est-à-dire un arrêt total des installations, mais sans les démonter. L’idée étant de pouvoir redémarrer un jour plus ou moins lointain. Moins efficace sur le plan industriel, cette solution pourrait tenter Total, car elle est plus facile à gérer sur un plan politique. Pour les salariés, l’impact serait néanmoins assez similaire. Et, pour l’instant, aucune raffinerie «mise sous cocon» dans le monde n’a jamais redémarré. 2, record 2, French, - mise%20sous%20cocon
