How to carry out equipment maintenance when the plant is shut down for a long period of time (more than half a year), and how to maintain large-scale units? How to maintain mechanical pumps? How to maintain valves, containers, etc.?

1) The pump comes with a manufacturer’s maintenance manual, or you can consult the manufacturer’s after-sales service department directly; 2) For regular valves, generally check the appearance for any damage or defects ; Apply sealant where it is necessary inside ; If discharge is required, open the plug to carry out discharge ; Check whether the handwheel or actuator is operating properly, whether the switches are in the correct position, and whether the mechanical indications match the actual condition ; Check for any air leaks and replace the packing ; Disassemble and replace components in those that are severely corroded or internally eroded ; For special valves, it is necessary to consult the manufacturer to take into account any special requirements regarding replacement and maintenance ; 3) Container: Check appearance and side wall thickness ; Whether the internal components are deformed or contaminated, and whether they need to be replaced or cleaned ; Do the instruments installed on the container need to be tested, and do the safety devices require re-calibration? ; Hope this helps a bit! !
