The document discusses early detection of deviations from operating parameters to extend plant availability. It describes monitoring electrical and mechanical assets like pumps, valves and heat exchangers during turnarounds to identify deviations from acceptable thresholds. Using condition and performance monitoring tools in addition to preventative maintenance can help extend plant uptime. The document also discusses a case study of detecting issues in a heat exchanger by monitoring parameters like pressure, temperature and vibration trends. Corrective actions like cleaning tubes helped resolve the problems and normalize operations.
