KTM Maintenance

Machinery

Rotating equipment lies at the heart of most oil & gas processes. Wells, pipelines, refineries and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants rely on turbomachinery to perform daily operations and fulfill their energy demands.

However, the presence of aging equipment, variations in process conditions and the financial penalties incurred by downtime make it important to pay close attention to maintenance. A vital first step is to understand the operating environment, the performance of a machine and expectations with regard to turnaround times and equipment lifespan. From there, sources of degradation and potential mitigation efforts can be assessed.

Gas compressors/turbines perform a challenging role that places considerable wear and stress on parts. Regular maintenance inspections and planned repair schedules are essential for continued reliable operation, especially for highly stressed parts, such as rotors and critical sealing components.

From Preventative to Predictive Maintenance

Normally when operating rotating equipment, different maintenance strategies are applied. The simplest method is to run a machine until it stops due to a failure taking the risk that comparably small damage can cause expensive consequential damages.
