Can anyone provide feedback on how to make ensure that vessel used in Fuel Gas System are free of vapour and residue that may result in explosion so they can be handed over to maintenance for cleaning, inspection or weld repairs. The vessels would be for knock out drums and particulate filters...
That is a good approach to split up the preventative maintenace vs functional testing of the system as a whole. I think that the time frames make sense as well.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion
The equipment is for a power station. One Gas Turbine has equipment that allows it to be started in the event that there is no power exertnal power from the grid or internal power generated (other than batteries and diesel generator). There is an air compressor, closed cooling water pump and...
HI,
I am looking to get feedback from operators / maintenance personnel from process facilities on how often to jog starting pumps, compresor and fans that are used infrequently (e.g. less than once per year if ever) but must be available for emergencies. I understand that each equipment...
Thanks for all the feedback, we are putting together SOPs and some procedure writers use this word. I have mistakenly thought it was term only for Instrument Isolation valves. The term makes more sense as first isolation valve of any branch, given that a root is like the bottom / start of a tree...
I have come across the term "Root" valve on a number of different occasion and I still don't have an accurate understanding of when the term should be used.
I originally thought that isolation valves for instruments (e.g. pressure gauge) was called a root valve. However I have also seen...
We have soemthing called service water, which is demineralized water that is bascially stored in a tank and piping without any protection to preserve it's quality so maybe this will be best.
Thanks for the very practical advice!
Cheers,

We are preparing SOPs for isolating Ammonia Injection Pumps (10% Aqueous Ammonia) prior to maintenance. The vendor has instructed that before maintenance of the wet side / regeant head of the pump: "flush pump thoroughly with a neutralizing liquid. Wear protective clothing and handle equipment...
I am looking to improve my operations knowledge by getting my hands on a simulator for Power Station. I am looking for something PC based that can be downloaded from the internet. Ideally I would prefer something related to Combined Cycle Operaiton but I would be happy with anything related to...
