VARIABLES IN MAINTENANCE WORK AND INSPECTION CULTURE

In most countries of the world there are organisations that are established for purposes of serving the public interest as well as the client by promoting the security of plants,property ,design specification and survey in a standard format. These standard are only best interpreted by the community of professionals involved in the acts and of cause an entire culture that is adopted at its best , like  a decorum..:Their primary objective are development , verification and conformity  of standards for design construction  and maintenance application and operation of oil and gas factories.and other related activities.They deals with the policy of standardization and provides quality services in support of the mission, and to response to collective needs  of the client commitment and supportive actions and services. The services can be organised as expression of quality and the pledge to monitor operational performance as an ongoing activity and to strive for continuous improvement.In recent years there has been  an increasing reliance by owners on store based personnel, for repair and maintenance of machinery on board vessel and offshore structures (ABB,2003). Planned and condition based maintenance are the two techniques presented in this project and other related activity which could be used to assist the owner of oil and gas in maintaining machinery . these techniques are used concurrently to the planned maintenance which is the setting formal schedule for maintenance and overhaul of machines running hour or calendar hour which may be used for establishing a schedule.Such schedules are generally established by the manufacturer and includes lubrication servicing, bearing and seal replacement as well as minor and major overhaul.
Condition based maintenance involved the use of diagnostic technology to monitor machine condition. this process involved establishing a based line and operating parameters , then periodically monitoring the machine and comparing any change in operating condition to the baseline. The repairs of replacement are carried out based upon the detection and fault diagnosis of the machine towards a condition of failure.The common tools used in monitoring are vibration analysis, oil analysis,ferrography, thermography,electric current, wave form analysis and stroboscopic examination. Supplemental technologist such as demodulation ultrasonic analysis, shock pulse and spike energy, HFD etc.roller bearing element condition monitoring may be used in addition to liberation analysis. Measurement are taken in periodical hours.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE INSPECTIONS

The inspection of heat exchanger boiler ,turbine , engine and boiler are executed by the following optimal selected technologies,

 Multiple frequency eddy current
 Magnetic base eddy current
 Remote field eddy current
 Rotascan (rotational  eddy current system).
 Iris(rotational ultrasonic system).

Continuous inspection is of utmost importance for the company and its operations and serves to achieve the following.
Detection of damages at an early stage in order to maximize the life time of the component and the cost effective planning including  the repairs.
to avoid unforeseen plant shut-down due to component damage.
Avoid secondary damage of high value components
Avoid environmental damage and distraction of the company image.
Avoid reduction of the product quality.
increase operational safety and fulfillment of authorities requirements.
Achievement of the best analysis of production or process caused damages.
Inn-inspection may involved high level of tube inspection experience and accurate defect analysis. Advanced technologies offer high defect detection capacities and accurate defect analysis .With high inspection speed and low cleaning requirement. The cost of effective inspection are able to inspect the ferromagnetic and non ferrous magnetic tubes as well as fin fan tubes..Due to its embedded of advanced and comprehensive importing software, the clients are provided with the precise and accurate condition overviews as well as the result for individual tubes .The real time result is  also available while the inspection is in progress. The inspection  overview of the various heat exchanges  and boiler  tube inspection techniques can be illustrated as follows;
 the fan inclination and declination.
 the redial displacement of bearing or fouling
 the alignment and fracture etc.
 the tubes fins and cracks including rupture and twist.etc
 vibration due to slacken fixtures. etc.
