Implementación de Rutas Óptimas de Análisis Termográfico para los Equipos Rotativos de la Unidad no Catalíticas II de la Refinería de Esmeraldas.

Abstract

Optimun Routes of Thermo-graphical Analysis have been implemented for the rotary equipment of the Non Catalytic Unit II of the State Refinery Esmeraldas to establish a control and inspection system permitting to maintain under surveillance and guarantee the correct functioning of each equipment. The investigation was carried out by obtaining information of the work conditions to which each equipment subjected. For this the Esmeraldas State Refinery technology was used. It funded the present work to improve the quality of equipment inspections of the different units and have a better criterion abaut its behavior. A new monitoring technique which made it possible to evaluate the equipment while performing its normal operative functions without interfering with the productive process troubleshooting capacity before these faults become serious causing emergency stops. It was also possible to establish a baseline which represents the good functioning of each equipment. With the implementation of these routes through thermography the diagnosis of each equipment is guaranteed with a higher accuracy as it is a complement of the other predictive techniques existing in the Reliability Unit. It is recommended to share the information with the other units to strengthen the interpretation of the analysis of specific situations.
