How to manage chemical static equipment
Thread Content
Dear teachers, I am an experienced student who has only been in the chemical industry for a short time. I graduated with a degree in chemistry and am currently working at a newly built chemical plant. My unit has assigned me responsibility for static equipment, but I don’t know where to start or what the work procedures are. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could offer some guidance. The faster, the better; the more detailed, the better.
In my opinion, it is necessary to be familiar with the equipment diagrams, and to keep specialized records of maintenance, calibration, and upkeep for special equipment and safety accessories.
Study*: Procedures for the maintenance and repair of pressure vessels (SHS 01004–2004); Procedures for the maintenance and repair of tower-type equipment (SHS 01007–2004); Procedures for the maintenance and repair of shell-and-tube heat exchangers (SHS 01009–2004); Procedures for the maintenance and repair of air coolers (SHS 01010–2004); Procedures for the maintenance and repair of steel cylindrical atmospheric pressure vessels (SHS 01011–2004) ...................
It is first necessary to understand and become familiar with the production process flow, the functions and main characteristics of various equipment, as well as the standards and specifications mentioned on the 3rd floor; of course, the \"Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Pressure Vessels\" are also important to know.
The \"Code of Regulations\" is the first thing that needs to be learned; it is a mandatory course for personnel working with chemical processing equipment. It is necessary to be familiar with the process flows and equipment diagrams, to classify all equipment properly, especially pressure vessels. One must also know the substances involved in the operation of each piece of equipment, so as to select the right repair tools during maintenance (for static equipment, this applies particularly to the choice of gaskets). It is important to be well-versed in the \"Rules for Maintenance and Repair of Petrochemical Equipment\" and to develop practical maintenance procedures specific to one’s own factory.
