A step-by-step guide to creating accurate, comprehensive, and easy to understand operations and maintenance manuals. From defining the audience to producing a hardcopy or online manual, the author draws on his years of experience to explain the process from start to finish. This guide is required reading for the facility operator, maintenance technician, training coordinator, and manager; those who must have the necessary tools and information to create O&M manuals that are clear, concise, and written at the level of the staff involved in the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the facility. This book, which includes valuable sample manual sections, covers such topics as overall organization, defining the level of detail, standard operating procedures, developing a style guide, developing HTML-based manuals, and placing and viewing CAD drawings online.
This book explains how rotating machinery works, and the role of the maintenance engineer in ensuring its proper operation. Stress is laid on the need for the trainee engineer to develop skills in diagnosis and troubleshooting as well as practical expertise in maintenance procedures.
Stay Up to Date on the Latest Issues in Maintenance Engineering The most comprehensive resource of its kind, Maintenance Engineering Handbook has long been a staple for engineers, managers, and technicians seeking current advice on everything from tools and techniques to planning and scheduling. This brand-new edition brings you up to date on the most pertinent aspects of identifying and repairing faulty equipment; such dated subjects as sanitation and housekeeping have been removed. Maintenance Engineering Handbook has been advising plant and facility professionals for more than 50 years. Whether you're new to the profession or a practiced veteran, this updated edition is an absolute necessity. New and updated sections include: Belt Drives, provided by the Gates Corporation Repair and Maintenance Cost Estimation Ventilation Fans and Exhaust Systems 10 New Chapters on Maintenance of Mechanical Equipment Inside: • Organization and Management of the Maintenance Function • Maintenance Practices • Engineering and Analysis Tools • Maintenance of Facilities and Equipment • Maintenance of Mechanical Equipment • Maintenance of Electrical Equipment • Instrumentation and Reliability Tools • Lubrication • Maintenance Welding • Chemical Corrosion Control and Cleaning
This fully updated and revised Second Edition of Pipeline Operation and Maintenance: A Practical Approach, provides comprehensive details on all matters related to operation and maintenance of gas and liquid pipeline systems. It is designed to impart know-how to operation and maintenance personnel while providing an in-depth coverage of the subjects that pipeline workers and pipeline engineers often face in the assessment of operation and maintenance tasks and corrective techniques. It is designed to fill the gap from commissioning to the operation and maintenance of pipeline systems, covering pipeline and facilities including metering, pumping, and compression as well as reliability assessments. The book provides an updated technique on liquid batched products pipelining operation and maintenance, as well comprehensive techniques for welding and repairs. It provides a detailed reference material for the day-to-day use and/or to refresh the knowledge and thinking process in undertaking various operation and maintenance tasks. It is also intended to be a training tool. Other books in the series include: - Pipeline Design and Construction: A Practical Approach, by Mohitpour, Golshan, and Murray - Energy Supply and Pipeline Transportation: Challenges and Opportunities, by Mohitpour - Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach, by Mohitpour, Botros, and Van Hardeveld - Pipeline Integrity Assurance: A Practical Approach, by Mohitpour, Murray, McManus, and Colquhoun
This book presents the advancements made in applied metrology in the field of Urban Drainage and Storm water Management over the past two decades in scientific research as well as in practical applications. Given the broadness of this subject (measuring principles, uncertainty in data, data validation, data storage and communication, design, maintenance and management of monitoring networks, technical details of sensor technology), the focus is on water quantity and a sound metrological basis. The book offers common ground for academics and practitioners when setting up monitoring projects in urban drainage and storm water management. This will enable an easier exchange of results so as to allow for a faster scientific progress in the field. A second, but equally important goal, is to allow practitioners access to scientific developments and gained experience when it comes to monitoring urban drainage and storm water systems. In-depth descriptions of international case studies covering all aspects discussed in the book are presented, along with self-training exercises and codes available for readers on a companion website.
First-line managers have to maintain the integrity of facilities, control manufacturing processes, and handle unusual or emergency situations, as well as respond to the pressures of production demand. On a daily basis, they are closest to the operating personnel who may be injured by a process accident, and they are in the best position to spot problem conditions and to act to contain them. This book offers these managers "how-to" information on process safety management program execution in the operations and maintenance departments, recommending technical and administrative process safety activities for the entire life cycle of the plant. Helpful tables and references add to the value of this process safety resource.
