R&M TIP: SHUTDOWNS-What Are Your Shutdown Drivers?

摘要

When was the last time you asked, "Why are we shutting down?" We call the answers to this question the "shutdown drivers." Shutdown drivers fit into the following five categories (with examples): Safety-e.g., installing new isolation valves or emergency shutdown devices Environmental/regulatory-e.g., state air emissions mitigation requirements for sewers, seals Mechanical integrity-e.g., coded vessel internal inspection, piping corrosion and remaining life Operational-e.g., equipment plugging and fouling Revenue generation-e.g., dryer replacement for increased speed on a paper machine.
