Plant integrity and reliability is the cornerstone of process plant optimization. For optimization benefits to be sustainable, production interruptions must be kept to a minimum which requires effective management of degradation processes that affect equipment and systems and effective inspection and maintenance strategies, plans, and methods. Plant optimization can be an effective way to achieve improved profitability without the large investment associated with building a new plant.
Common industrial processes and systems, such as steam, cooling water, process heating, and electric motors consume most of the energy and offer significant opportunities for savings. Process changes such as advanced controls, new catalysts, and new technologies also present opportunities for plant optimization. This training will provide a comprehensive review of the various aspects of process plant integrity as an essential foundation for sustainable plant profitability and optimization
