Analysis of equipment life cycle at oil refinery

Abstract

The results of the analysis of the service life of equipment operating under excess pressure at the Belarusian oil refinery are presented, directions for improving industrial safety when working with this type of equipment are proposed in this study. It was established that fittings with conditional passage up to DN100, the base metal and metal of the welds of the equipment body are the most wearing parts during the service life. Frequent replacement of fittings with a small conditional passage is connected with a small margin between the executive and rejection thicknesses of fittings' nozzles. The average service life of equipment operating under excessive pressure at the studied enterprise was established.
