Diseño de la estrategia basada en mantenimiento centrado en la confiabilidad para activos físicos críticos de Refinería Shushufindi

Abstract

The research developed a design of Reliability Centred Maintenance Strategy, for the physic-critical assets of Shushufindi Refinery, located in Sucumbios province. The method used is descriptive, non-experimental, prevail qualitative of traverse-type, only the results comparison is longitudinal. The information collecting process is retrospective, it is applied documentation techniques and field observations, using instruments like: books, handbooks of operation and maintenance, internet, intranet, software (AS 400 MAINTRACKER, EAM MAXIMO, SISMAC), operational data, historical of maintenance, the methodology determined the analysis of criticality, considering security aspects, environment and production, once determined the physiccritical assets

are: Crude oven (CH001), steam boiler (Y2B701C), and air- compressor (YC2101C). The updated operational context established the analysis of failure mode and effect (FMEA), the consequences, the proper proactive tasks and the actions or nonactions registered in information sheets and decision RCM, achieving a harmonizing the

criteria

with ISO Standard 14224. Quantitative results were obtained the increased the trustworthiness in the order of: steam boiler 5.41%, crude oven 5.88%, air-compressor 12.07%. It is concluded that developed research improves the operational reliability of physic-critical assets. For this reason it is recommended to authorities, maintenance and operation technicians of Shushufindi Refinery, to apply the methodology RCM.
