Course Description

Terminology, definitions and principles, accessibility and importance of maintenance to availability of the production equipment. Types and choice of maintenance. Maintenance management, organization of maintenance, reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and maintenance efficiency. Failure Probability, exponential distribution and Weibull distribution. Maintenance Strategy, operating and life cycle costs (LCC) and spare parts management.

Overview of state concept and condition monitoring methods. Organization of condition monitoring. Basics of vibration theory and vibration analysis, mathematical basis, principles of measurement, analysis techniques. Theoretical basis for thermodynamic performance monitoring, performance monitoring. Oil Analysis, wear mechanisms and methods of analysis. Briefly about other non-destructive methods for inspections. Fault tree analysis.

Trend Analysis and diagnostics. Presentation of programs for performance monitoring and fault diagnosis based on measured results.

Moreover, the course introduces toxicology, leakage calculations, spread, fire and explosions. Hazard identification using rough calculations and HAZOP. Laws and regulations are also reviewed. The course will provide practical examples to illustrate the theory and methods that are the basis of safety analyzes in process and offshore industry.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures, compulsory exercises, group presentations and workshop.

Assessment Methods

The final grade of the subject is determined as follows:

The result of the written test for each of the parts Technical Safety and Technical Maintenance accounts for 50% of the final grade.

To get the grade, at least 80% of the exercises must be completed and approved. Approval may be implemented as correcting teacher or through the student's presentation of their solutions for other students after further described arrangement.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
