Description
For process operators throughout the chemical process industries (CPI), proper maintenance is essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of CPI facilities. This PDF provides practical guidance to help CPI facilities plan and manage maintenance activities in the most proactive, organized, and cost-effective way.
Articles focus on managing overall maintenance programs, optimizing efforts during planned shutdowns and turnarounds, and providing maintenance recommendations for specific equipment and systems, including boiler-water-treatment systems, agitators, sealing systems, burner systems, boilers and steam-handling units, and distillation systems. Emphasis is placed on the challenges of maintaining rotating equipment and measuring flow in lines, ducts, and stacks.
