This document describes a project to improve valve maintenance practices at a Chevron facility. The problem was that valves were being replaced without first being inspected when they failed to cycle. The project involved conducting inspections and repacking valves instead of automatic replacement. This reduced replacement costs by over $100,000 in the first six months by repairing valves rather than replacing them. Lessons included the importance of preventative maintenance to reduce replacement costs.
Compared with the Solenoid valve, Actuated Ball valves offers different no. of configurations. We at Fevisa after years of understanding and research employ this methodology in our which are the industrial standards that are on the rise.

Transition to online AMS reduces maintenance costs and improves operationsEmerson Exchange
Presented by David Rabon and Mike Ruhle
at the 2011 Emerson Exchange in Nashville.
Abstract: The utilities department at Pfizer Inc. in Groton, CT has leveraged an investment in SMART technologies to move from a failure/preventative maintenance process to a reliability based process. With a DeltaV upgrade, online AMS and Valvelink snap-on were installed. The software along with training/mentoring and a change in work practices have improved maintenance efficiency and costs. In the past work was performed when operations identified a process related alert only. Now the technicians help identify issues, generate work orders and resolve them before they become process issues.

How to select the right control valvesSowmiya Siva
When selecting control valves, it’s advisable to be sure to evaluate how the valve’s features match the application’s requirements in terms of connectivity for remote monitoring, stable flow control, versatility, and ability to handle a range of flows.

How to Instill a Culture of Reliability - "The Big Bang"ARMS Reliability
Asset-intensive organisations continue to significantly invest in resources, processes, and systems to meet asset performance and cost expectations of customers. Yet, meeting this expectation successfully over time remains a challenge for many organisations. It's easy to fall into a cycle of reactive maintenance, use suboptimal, outdated, or inconsistent asset strategies which produce subpar results.
When Icon Water made the decision to transition to a new Oracle EAM system, they seized the opportunity to revolutionize their entire approach to Asset Management. They began a journey starting from behind the curve to now joining Water Industry leaders in digital transformation.
At the start of their Asset Management overhaul, no asset strategy existed for Icon Water’s assets. They relied on very knowledgeable personnel executing maintenance activities built up from experience. Execution crews were accountable for planned and reactive work and justification for maintenance was not documented or linked to the asset’s function. Asset Criticality Analysis had not been completed and the existing EAM system had reached end of life. Rather than work through this long list of improvement opportunities one by one, Icon Water adopted a “Big Bang” approach to Reliability and Work Management improvement—a major overhaul of roles, accountabilities, business processes, and systems.
This story shares how Reliability Centred Maintenance principles have shaped the establishment of Asset Management foundations. A significant part of the step change was an upgrade to the paperless Oracle Works Asset Management System (WAM), however, rather than simply implementing a new planning, scheduling and execution tool to deliver the same maintenance, Icon Water developed new asset strategies for all 700,000 assets using an Asset Strategy Management (ASM) process. The ASM system accelerated EAM system implementation by packaging and loading of all corrective work orders into WAM.
As a result, significant cultural change has evolved through clear ownership and structure of the new base asset strategies. Currently, Icon Water has full visibility of asset reliability strategies and a process for optimizing those strategies and risks moving forward. Future strategy updates can happen efficiently and dynamically across the entire-asset base. Their new approach to Asset Strategy Management drives continuous improvement and supports a sustainable company-wide culture of reliability.
