Abstract
Recently, a major chemical company put together a project to
specifically address the repetitive corrosion problem experienced
on the long term storage of critical rotors in a Texas facility.
However, as the strategy was being developed to address the
corrosion problem, the opportunity to address three other deficient
areas presented themselves as well. These areas included the lack
of a standardized inspection process, inadequate specific rotor
history documentation, and the inability to track individual rotors.
The solution was to establish a rotor storage facility and the
development of the necessary operating discipline to address each
issue. The outcome resulted in increasing the equipment reliability
and reducing the long term cost of ownership of the equipment.
