Maintenance
Maintenance in refinery service
Maintenance refers to the regular, planned maintenance activities performed at a refinery or other industrial facility and industrial plants to maintain proper operations. This includes routine inspections, oil changes, replacement of wear parts, repairs, and other activities to keep equipment in good working order. Maintenance is typically performed at regular intervals and can be preventive to avoid unplanned downtime or corrective to address problems that have already occurred.

Maintenance is a continuous process aimed at maintaining or improving the performance, reliability, and efficiency of industrial equipment during its ongoing operation. Here is a detailed explanation of the maintenance process:
1. Preventive Maintenance
Regular inspections and planned maintenance are aimed at identifying and correcting potential problems early, before they lead to costly failures.
2. Inspection and Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of plant components and systems is critical to assess the condition of the plant and detect unusual or abnormal changes. Regular inspections help check for wear on parts and the condition of plant equipment.
3. Maintenance and Repairs:
: Based on the results of inspections and monitoring, maintenance work and repairs are performed. This may include lubricating bearings, replacing wear parts, or cleaning equipment parts.
4. Spare Parts and Material Management
Proper storage and management of spare parts and materials are critical to ensure they are available in a timely manner when needed.
5. Preventive Measures
: In addition to preventive maintenance, preventive measures can also be taken to extend the life of equipment. These include surface coatings, corrosion protection, or material improvements.
6. Efficiency Optimization
Maintenance can also aim to optimize energy efficiency and production processes in order to reduce operating costs.
7. Training and Continuing Education
Our employees receive continuous training and further education to ensure that they are familiar with the latest technologies and procedures and can work safely.
8. Response to Breakdowns
In addition to planned maintenance, the maintenance team must also be able to respond quickly to unexpected malfunctions and emergencies.
9. Documentation and Reporting
Comprehensive documentation of all work carried out and results achieved is of crucial importance. It forms the basis for a thorough analysis and enables optimized planning of future maintenance measures.
