Maintenance Management in Fertiliser Plants

摘要

The role of maintenance is very important in the successful operations of a fertiliser plant. Maintenance is a line function and it is based on ystems developed to cover all the aspects of maintenance required for the proper functioning of equipment and machinery. The systems developed cover day to day breakdown maintenance, planned maintenance, preventive and predictive maintenance. Use of computers is increasingly made to stream line maintenance operations, data collection and record keeping. Condition monitoring is an important tool available to maintenance engineers to carry out planned maintenance effectively. Important parameters like vibrations and thickness measurements are monitored manually according to programme. On-line equipment for the measurement of vibrations and few other parameters is used on higher speed turbo machinery. Plant turnaround activity is an important event in maintenance activities and requires very careful planning. Upgradation of maintenance staff in knowledge and skills is carried out from time to time.
