This article provides an overview of several of the most important root cause prevention techniques to minimize corrosion, scaling, and fouling in steam generating systems.  A follow-up piece will outline instrumentation that is vital for these efforts.
Optimizing work order management requires strategic planning, effective use of technology, and continuous refinement of processes. By standardizing workflows, leveraging CMMS tools for task prioritization, minimizing response times, and integrating various business functions, organizations can significantly enhance their facility operations.

Relocating or expanding a manufacturing facility is a complex, capital-intensive endeavour that can either enhance operational efficiency or lock-in costly inefficiencies. By embedding operational excellence principles, particularly those drawn from Lean methodologies into factory moves you will unlock strategic opportunities to improve productivity, reduce waste, and build a sustainable culture of continuous improvement. Â

Imagine walking into a workplace with the quiet efficiency of interconnected machines. Sensors continuously relay real-time data, AI algorithms flag potential issues before they arise, and maintenance schedules practically run themselves. This isn’t a farfetched vision for the future. It’s the reality that companies across multiple industries are embracing with today’s computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS).

Rotary dryers, kilns, mills and reactors turn on tires and trunnions. Each tire is mounted to the rotating shell and revolves on two roller trunnions. If the alignment between the tire and trunnions is lost due to wear, poor repair, installation error or impact, the equipment will need to be tracked.Â

Large industrial facilities frequently have many closed cooling water systems.  Plant personnel may, at times, overlook important issues related to water treatment and corrosion minimization within these networks; that is until a failure brings down a system and perhaps a unit operation, or worse.  An important part of any preventive maintenance program is conscientious monitoring and control of cooling water chemistry.
