Instrument Reliability Improvement Program
at a Gas Processing Plant
This presentation describes the implementation of instrument base layer improvement to support plant operational excellence at the plant’s
operation division, the gas processing plant, Complex-A, at PETRONAS Gas Bhd.
- Address Operational Performance Improvement (OPI) and Value Improvement Project (VIP) Issues - Identification of the OPI and
VIP Instrumentation and Control issues, which became the bottleneck for OPI & VIP progress.
- Fit for Optimization - High percentage auto controller to support Advanced Process Controller (APC) to perform at its optimum.
- Plant Reliability - Maintenance has direct focus to resolve the outstanding instrument based layer; reduction of reworks and priority 1
and 2 notifications; and reduction of unplanned plant breakdowns due to instrumentation issues.
- Align Maintenance Strategy - Condition based monitoring as it identifies and signals the problematic controllers before failures;
enhance PM vs. REM ratio maintenance to achieve PM% world class standard; and reduction of maintenance cost overall. (REM
maintenance cost is higher than PM maintenance cost.)
Key Words: Data gathering,
analysis, root cause analysis & troubleshooting
