β¦ Synopsis
Low availability continues to be a major problem in the operation of MSFplants, in spite of all the improvements made in the design and manufacture of individual components and parts.
Through inspections and repair measures during planned plant shut-downs, however, the number and duration of unwanted plant failures can be reduced. During these planned shutdowns, the condition of the plant will be established and a check will be made to find out which components have to be repaired or replaced in order to ensure troubiefree operation in the plant as whole. This system of in-service inspections offers greater prospects for success than the individual measures mentioned in increasing the availability of the plant, safeguarding the water supply and reducing maintenance costs.
