It’s the equipment and materials – we’re using an old system, so the equipment keeps breaking down
In our company, the issues are mainly due to equipment problems, followed by electrical and instrumentation problems; process operation-related issues are rare!
In our unit, the main issues are equipment failures; additionally, there are significant problems with the operation of the thermal power boilers.
