Elimination Of Leak With An Innovative Maintenance Technique On Closed Drain System In Process Industry By Creation Of New Design Concept And Safe Execution
Abstract
Monitoring and maintaining the oil and gas infrastructure is critical to ensuring safe and efficient operations. maintaining thousands of kilometers of pipes and other facilities, some in remote and hostile locations, is not an easy task. Maintenance of oil and gas industry facilities and infrastructure usually takes about 40% of the total budget and may be higher for complex systems. Focus on improving productivity and operational maintenance Innovative technologies are vital in the oil and gas industry. There is a critical leak on 2” Drain line which is interconnected to Closed Drain system in a Process Industry. Closed Drain system is a network system that receives liquid from Pressure vessels into one common drain header and transports it to Effluent treatment systems in Production process plants .This Critical leak is focalized on a 2” 90 deg. Elbow. Process Isolation is not feasible to commence repairs on the Ruptured Elbow as many other process equipment’s are interconnected. This nature of problem is a unique case and this problem-solving technique shall impart new scientific knowledge to the existing knowledge hub. A total shutdown of the process plant is further required to effect maintenance repairs as there are no isolations on the network.
