PAPER MILL BOOSTS RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCEPROGRAM WITH COST SAVINGS GENERATED BY ITS INFRAREDWINDOW PROGRAM

摘要

A paper mill in Georgia had run a very successful infrared inspection program for a number of years via a local, contract thermographer working with the mill's in-house electricians. Although the program had a good track record, senior management was concerned about the potential impact of NFPA 70E requirements, and how best to comply with them. The plant commissioned a cost-benefit analysis and this paper will present the results and recommendations from this study.
