Plant availability

A high plant availability rate is a synonym to maximal confidence in your plant

Auditing, inspecting, monitoring and failure analysis prevent unscheduled outages in order to maintain high availability rates throughout the plants lifetime.For the owner of a power plant, waste incinerator or industrial unit, the great worry is always an unscheduled outage of the process installation. At the same time, no one wants to incur any major costs if they aren’t strictly necessary.

However, the severe loads inevitably take their toll on the components involved – increasing the risk of an owner or operator’s worst fear: unscheduled outages. When a component fails, the direct financial implications can be considerable, but the loss of production can prove several times more costly. What is required, therefore, is real insight into the reliability of the components, throughout their service life.
