Life Extension Of Ageing Bulk Solids Handling Systems

摘要

Australia now has a number of major bulk handling facilities that were constructed during the 1960s and 1970s. With careful planning and implementation of a life extension program, the performance of this equipment will continue to be efficient, safe and reliable. A step by step approach could be taken for the development of a life extension program. The implementation should include ongoing non-destructive testing and condition monitoring to provide early advice on potential failure events. Long term programming of life extension activities can provide management with an important financial planning tool for future business directions.
