Equipment Maintenance Programs for Chemical Processing

Site walk to scope the asset population, criticality scoring against seal integrity, exchanger tube reliability, reactor uptime, baseline measurements on the top 30 to 60 assets, then a regular cycle of asset-condition-driven scheduling. Findings get written up against ISO 14224 (failure modes). For Chemical Processing facilities, the engagement usually includes coordination with the plant's existing compliance program — pulling Equipment Maintenance results into the OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, DOT Hazmat audit file. Initial scope runs $15K-$45K depending on asset count, then ongoing at scoped per equipment population.

Sub-sectors with the highest equipment criticality and longest production runs. Within Chemical Processing, that's typically operations running large rotating equipment 24/7 on tight production schedules. Smaller Chemical Processing operations with mostly batch work and shorter equipment populations get less leverage from Equipment Maintenance and may be better served by basic preventive maintenance with on-call diagnostic support.
