Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance is any task that is given a deadline and assigned to a technician. It can either be a recurring task done at regular intervals or a one-time task. Scheduled maintenance includes inspections, adjustments, regular service, and planned shutdowns.

The primary goals of scheduled maintenance are to reduce reactive maintenance, equipment failure, and maintenance backlog. Standard checks help increase the lifetime of assets and reduce the number of equipment repairs and replacements. Scheduling tasks also allows you to better allocate resources in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Overhaul of Compressor Stations

Compressor station overhauls can help prevent breakdowns, extend the service life of the equipment, and restore the system to factory condition efficiency. Here are some things to consider when overhauling a compressor station:
 
  • Airend replacement, overhaul, or rerate/derate
    Depending on the situation, these options can all be valuable solutions.
  • Blowdown valve inspection and repair
    Compressor station operations can stress blowdown valves, which can lead to methane emissions. It’s important to inspect and repair leaking blowdown valves annually.
  • Directed Inspection and Maintenance (DI&M) program
    This program can help identify and fix leaking components at a compressor station. It can be cost-effective because it focuses on repairing components that are most likely to leak and are most profitable to repair.
  • Gas compressor hazards
    Compressor stations can be hazardous, with potential risks including explosions, fires, leaks, spills, and exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), radon 222, and lead

Managing Shut Downs

Refineries manage shutdowns to perform maintenance, repairs, and upgrades, and to bring the plant back online safely and efficiently. The shutdown process involves several phases, including planning, risk assessment, execution, and monitoring: 
 
  • Planning
    This is the most critical phase and involves defining the scope of work, allocating resources and personnel, and setting timelines and milestones.
  • Risk assessment
    This involves identifying potential hazards, developing mitigation strategies, and implementing safety protocols and emergency response plans.
  • Execution
    This is when the actual shutdown activities take place, including isolating and de-energizing equipment, performing maintenance, inspections, and upgrades, and monitoring progress.
  • Monitoring
    This involves addressing issues promptly and making catch-up plans if there are delays.
