Bump in The Night: Gas Turbine Forced Outage Response
2022-07-28 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
With gas turbines being called into peaking service more often, many end users are starting to see the detrimental effects of this operational change, possible forced outages. While owner / operators hope to never be put in a situation of a forced outage, they can occur, and it can be difficult to know where to start. Sulzer will walk through a fictitious event and identify all key activities and what to look for when there is a “Bump in The Night”.
Some of the topics of this presentation include:

Initial failure and assessment
Balancing field work, RCFA, and shop support
Assigning proper project manager
Conditional assessment of rotors
Downstream impact of combustion and hot gas path components
Identifying key factors which led to forced outage
Enhancements for your gas turbines
Bringing the unit back together

Please join the Sulzer team in a discussion on what to expect and look for as you own/operate gas turbines in this evolving market.

Close your valves the right way with AFT Impulse [Webinar]
2022-09-07 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Denver) | Webinar
Valve closures are unavoidable, whether from emergency shutdowns, simple flow redirections, or anything in between. Figuring out the right way to close is nearly impossible without modeling software. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The effective closure time is unique for every valve in every system – because it does not just depend on the valve and does not just depend on the system. It depends on the combination.

Workshop #15: Your PM Needs A Tuneup

It can be hard to develop a comprehensive approach to Preventive Maintenance (PM). You may have tried different documentation methods. Your management and execution may vary between areas. Different groups and software sometimes manage portions of your existing PM systems. This workshop will walk you through the steps needed to do PM the right way from who to what KPIs you need to measure the success.

Building your PM Tasks Doesn’t Have to be a Time and Resource Killer

Developing the right list of Preventive Maintenance tasks for your equipment is often time and resource-consuming. To do it right many plants and mills would need to dedicate a Subject Matter Expert at the corporate level, full-time, for over a year to form teams and create all these tasks. They must rely on everyone’s experience and may have a hard time reaching consensus But is there another way that would allow plants to generate a list of PMs, starting with only a database of assets?

The Real Reasons Your Reliability Improvements May Fail – It’s All About Support

The two most common reasons that companies fail to sustain R&M practices and achieve improved business results are the following: 1. Lack of a strong and fully engaged Leadership Team that understands and takes responsibility for the business objectives, basic process workflows, and the organizational roles in support of the process. 2. Leadership and supervision’s lack of understanding and ability to manage people – with both sincere recognition and performance management, when appropriate. It is said “Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses”, so the question is “How do you engage plant leadership in your improvements?”

Workshop #25: Why Root Cause Analysis Just Isn’t Enough To Really Solve Your Problems

You may have been through Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) training at some point in your career. If not, you probably are aware of the basic concept and that there are many Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) classes and books available. But the inherent problem of RCFA is that its scope is narrow – analysis of the problem without really getting to a practical and implementable solution.
