RTO Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting is the Key to Uptime

Air Pollution Control Equipment is an important and significant investment for manufacturers.  It is critical to keep systems and processes running optimally to ensure up-time and well as maintain compliance and regulatory issues.  There are many considerations and options when it comes to preventive maintenance that can be done with properly trained on-site employees as well as one of Ship & Shore expert field engineers.

S&SE offers state of the art preventive maintenance services on our RTO systems as well as most models on the market as well as on site operator training to maximize your investment with optimal function and efficiency.

 

The key to reliable operation is to maintain the system continually throughout the year, especially during the cold weather. Some important and preventive steps you can take are:

• Visual daily check of the equipment for discoloration, cracks, splits, debris, etc.
• Install desiccant-style dryer for compressed air supply to prevent condensation/moisture in the system.
• Keep critical spare parts in stock to reduce equipment downtime should a component fail.
• Follow operating manual preventive maintenance and required compliance schedules.
• Utilize trained Ship & Shore field engineer to provide annual fine tuning of the unit.
• Ask Ship & Shore about upgrading the PLC program & HMI for “user friendly” troubleshooting, real time system information, and improved energy-efficiency.

Prevent Moisture in Compressed Air Supply 

Check your desiccant dryer and compressor air lines regularly for leaks and condensation.  A handy measurement tool is to drain compressed air accumulator tanks to make sure the compressed air is free of moisture. To minimizing the impact of cold weather on the system, replace or rebuild pneumatic components to ensure these components are working properly.
