MTBM / MTBF - KPI for rotating equipment within refineries is anyone able to provide or share MTBM and/or MTBF

- KPI's for rotating equipment within refineries in particular those for 'best in class' (BIC)? The only reference I do have so far is the OREDA data of 1999 for upstream business shown in the machinery reliability book of H.Bloch. However I am keen on getting more detailled references or data... Thanks ! 1 month ago Like CommentFollow Flag More Carlos Alberto Moraes likes this 2 comments

Follow Ron Ron Reeves We use MTBR (Mean Time between repair) This help measure any repairs we had to the equipment. Our MTBR for pumps run at arounf 60 months, and pump seals run at 85 months. I do not know of a industry standard that ensures everyone measures it thesame. 1 month ago Like Reply privately Flag as inappropriate

Follow Muhammad Muhammad Aqleem Jamshed I use MTBF for our production critical equipment. that is simply; MTBF = Total running hours of all equipment (over a months time) / Total number of breakdowns (over a months time) the time may very from month to week or may be 03 motnhs. you will get the picture over the period of time. the trend must be decending or atleast stright.

Job Description Knowledge of Piping Codes like ASME B 31.3 is a must.

Knowledge of Piping Layout Design and Piping Material Engineering is required. Knowledge of Caesar II is a must. Knowledge of other Flexibility Analysis software is added advantage. Should be able to do flexibility analysis of: High temperature and high pressure lines with associated supporting. Lines connected with reciprocating and rotating equipments Two phase flow lines

PSV systems Should be familiar with Isometric checking from stress perspective. Should be familiar with generation of Spring Index/ Datasheet, requisitions and purchases. Knowledge of SPR is required. Candidate should have good knowledge of inter discipline interactions and coordination.

Candidate should be a good team player with proven leadership skills and excellent communication skill.

Qualifications Bachelor degree in Mechanical/ Chemical Engineering

10 20 years in Piping Flexibility Analysis with about 5 years in supervisory/ lead position.

Industry Type -Refinery, Petrochemical, Chemical or related industry

Follow Tynan Tynan Carroll To reference Ron Reeves, there is not an industry standard that ensures everyone measures it the same, I fully agree. Therefore, how you define the measurement really depends on what you want to achieve from measuring it. You can benchmark your own MTBF or MTBR using a certain rationale. Then regardless of how you measure it, improvement is improvement if you continue to measure it in the same way. Specifically in refining, where there is a built in redundancy in equipment, the focus for pump MTBF/R really means the cost incurred in delivering a level of reliabiity. What I mean is that you wouldn't hope to double your MTBR whilst doubling your maintenance cost to provide it. In which case, when you start to define your measurement, you possibly need to include the cost of maintenance as a key driver. 1 day ago Like1

Follow Adam Adam Marsden For gas turbines there is standard BS ISO 3977-9:1999, where MTBF is defined as the average time between failures which initiate a forced outage, i.e. the ratio of attempted operating hours to the number of forced outages: MTBF=(PH - (RSH - FOH - POH))/FO = SH/FO where PH is the period hours POH is the planned outage hours RSH is the reserve shutdown/service hours SH is the service hours FOH is the forced outage hours FO is the number of forced outages NOTE This index is sometimes referred to as the mean time between unplanned outages (MTBO).
