Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of analyzing the reliability and data analysis in the industry. This analysis makes it possible to determine the pattern of damage that has occurred in order to determine the right treatment strategy. This study was conducted in a state-owned company in the Oil and Gas sector. They suffer losses in the production process and high maintenance costs due to pump failure. This problem comes from the working fluid that is flowed containing a catalyst which is erosion-corrosion and affects the damage to the pump components. The pump is a type of centrifugal pump with the parallel installation. The identification of pump failures is completed in this analysis with the help of the existing asset criticality rating system and failure time data is collected from the last 15 years from 3 pump units to perform reliability and life data analysis. The analysis begins by determining the failure mode of each pump. The highest number of failures is associated with failure of the mechanical seal, and the bearings. The analysis was carried out using the aid of software to help determine the reliability and other parameters. After analyzing the reliability of the pump components, it is known that the pump components have failed differently. In mechanical seals, there is premature damage caused by the working fluid, and the bearings experience random failure. Based on the results of the reliability analysis that has been carried out, it is recommended to carry out predictive maintenance for a mechanical seal and bearing components and to make a maintenance schedule which is expected to extend the service life of the pump. The reason for the high maintenance costs is because the handling of the damage that occurs is not properly planned. The random failure mode is also one factor in increased maintenance costs.
