Programs preventive maintenance

A Preventive Maintenance Program (PMP) depends heavily on an inspection form or checklist to ensure that a vehicle or equipment inspection procedure has been fully accomplished and its completion documented. It has long been noted that a PMP has benefits that extend beyond caring for equipment. Of course equipment is expensive and, if cared for properly and regularly, will last a lot longer, cost less to operate, operate more efficiently, and have fewer catastrophic failures. 

Remember that properly maintained equipment is also safer and there is a decreased risk of accidents occurring. The degree of pride for having safe operating equipment will transfer to the workers in the form of better morale and respect for the equipment. Well-maintained equipment sends a strong message regarding safe operation of equipment. 

If you allow operators to use equipment, maehinery, or vehicles that are unsafe or in poor operating condition, you send a negative message that says I don t value my equipment, machinery, or vehicles and I don t value my workforce either. A structured PMP will dehnitely foster a much more positive approach regarding property

Reliability of a plant depends on many parameters, such as the type of fuel, the preventive maintenance programs, the operating mode, the control systems, and the firing temperatures. 

As with any power equipment, gas turbines require a program of planned inspections with repair or replacement of damaged components. A properly designed and conducted inspection and preventive maintenance program can do much to increase the availability of gas turbines and reduce unscheduled maintenance. Inspections and preventive maintenance can be expensive, but not as costly as forced shutdowns. Nearly all manufacturers emphasize and describe preventive maintenance procedures to ensure the reliability of their machinery, and any maintenance program should be based on manufacturer s recommendations. Inspection and preventive maintenance procedures can be tailored to individual equipment application with references such as the manufacturer s instruction book, the operator s manual, and the preventive maintenance checklist. 

It is critical to the integrity of flame arresters that they he inspected and serviced on a regnlarly schednled basis (preventive maintenance program) so that they continne to he effective. 

The change management process should also ensure that a root cause analysis has been conducted to make sure the real problem has been identified and corrected. For example, if a pump seal fails it could simply be replaced with an identical seal. However, it may have failed because it was left in service beyond its natural life and the real failure was in the preventative maintenance program that should have replaced it earlier. 

A full preventive maintenance program will pick up potential failures as incipient failures rather than delaying until they become catastrophic. 

Periodic alignment checks on all coupled machinery are considered one of the best tools in a preventive maintenance program. Such checks are important because the vibration effects of misalignment can seriously damage a piece of equipment. Misalignment of more than a few thousandths of an inch can cause vibration that significantly reduces equipment life. 

These examples illustrate the importance of careful design, careful monitoring of conditions, and the need for periodic preventive maintenance programs when working with flammable gases and compressors. This is especially important today, because high-pressure process conditions are becoming more common in modern chemical plants. 

Maintenance programs The best way to prevent fires and explosions is to stop the release of flammable materials. Preventive maintenance programs are designed to upgrade system before failures occur. 

Most engineers are aware of the importance of preventive maintenance programs, especially those owning automobiles or homes. A little neglect can cause serious property damage and may be the genesis of serious accidents for example, poorly maintained brake systems have inevitable consequences. 

Preventive maintenance programs must be organized, managed, and fully supported by management. Good results may not be immediately apparent, but bad results are apparent when plants are not appropriately maintained.
