How to conduct inspections of chemical processing equipment?
Thread Content
Dear experts, please discuss how to conduct inspections of chemical processing equipment For equipment inspection in our company, there is first the method of \"integration of operation and inspection\" carried out by operators, and second, inspection by professional personnel, which mainly includes inspections of mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems as well as inspections conducted by equipment managers. The current problem is that professional inspections are merely a formality, failing to identify and resolve issues. What do everyone do? ?
Each workshop is equipped with maintenance staff who are responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing the equipment both inside and outside the workshop. When operators detect any problems, the maintenance staff must address them promptly. There are always those who shirk their responsibilities in every company, and this is related to the personal quality of the inspection staff; it is necessary to impose constraints through management systems. That is, if inspection staff fail to detect problems while operators or workshop managers do, such staff will have their evaluation scores reduced, as this indicates that they have not fulfilled their duties properly. It is important to urge these inspection staff to carry out their work more thoroughly
It is necessary to follow the rules and regulations strictly! You can’t cut corners!
We follow the following procedure: 1. Assign responsibilities for process inspections and routine checks to specific individuals, define the scope clearly, and then provide focused training on the knowledge and basic skills required for such inspections； 2. Carry out integrated inspections (involving relevant fields such as equipment, processes, and electrical systems) to supervise each other and eliminate potential hazards ； 3. Supervision and management are carried out in the workshops and factory headquarters, with irregular spot checks and assessments on key areas.

Seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching are essential inspection methods in the chemical industry; by employing these approaches, it’s impossible to fail to detect problems, and abnormal noises from machinery can immediately indicate what’s wrong.
There must be reward and punishment measures as well as supervision mechanisms; we install cameras at the locations where inspections are carried out. Before the installation of cameras, our assessment office and equipment department conducted regular and irregular inspections! It’s impossible to rely on self-discipline; everyone has inertia! Now there’s another device that displays and records data once when a person approaches it; the manufacturer is from Shanghai! We have inspection records with signatures confirming it, but in reality, they might not have been at the site! This is even more true at night! The task of maintenance workers is not only to carry out repairs but also, more importantly, to perform maintenance and upkeep! The repairman lacks awareness in this regard!

Inspection can only be carried out by scanning the NFC code on the device, which addresses the issue of inspectors not being present on site. 2. Photos are taken at the measurement points using sensors, which addresses the issue of inspectors failing to take measurements at the designated locations. 3. The measurement results from the previous day cannot be viewed on the Android-based inspection device, which eliminates the situation where inspectors have to make approximate estimates based on past values. www.i-pms.com.cn
