Maintenance PhilosophyMaintenance Philosophy
! Overall Asset Management Plan for planning andmaintenance of plant systems (1yr, 5yr & 75yr)
! Plant that is monitored using CM methods haverelated maintenance activities based on conditionassessment and not time based. E.g. overhauls,
oil changes, bearing changes etc! Continuous improvement and Pro-Active
maintenance is enhanced through groups formedto tackle specific plant system problems.
RCA Program implemented

Plant Specific Groups (e.g. Mill Group, Boiler
Inspection Group etc)

CM REPORTING SYSTEMCM REPORTING SYSTEM
Why was the CM Reporting Systemdeveloped?
! A CM Program needs to be managed.
! A CM Program is an Important part of assetmanagement and information needs to be readilyavailable.
! Management of the CM Program would be improved ifinformation was stored and presented in a betterformat.
!
Complexity of CM information needed to be reducedfor other stakeholders if it was to be considered. Production Engineering & Maintenance personnel Management
! MMS System information access and presentation wasnot adequate
8/8/2019 Nick Lee - CM Reporting and Alarms
12/42
Problems with Previous CM Reporting
! Information on Plant Condition using various CM
methods was available to CM Practitioners only andwas not readily available to other Maintenance orProduction personnel.
!
Existing CM Software for Oil, Vibration and CurrentAnalysis, Performance data did not correlate thedata for a combined plant condition statement orassessment.
!Monthly Report was produced manually on worddocuments.
! Monitoring of Plant problems during early stages(prior to raising a Work Order) was done on a
dedicated white board.

Definition of AlarmsDefinition of Alarms
! Critical: Highest priority. Plant fault requires one ormore of the following:
Shut down plant to correct fault
Corrective action to be scheduled Closely monitor to diagnose the cause of
fault and then schedule corrective action(short period).
!Warning: Medium Priority. Plant requires regularmonitoring (routine or more frequent)to trend problem. Plant is operating in alarm level but
there is no immediate danger by operatingthe plant.
! Acceptable: Low Priority. Plant is in alarm level but onlyrequires routine monitoring and no immediateaction. A problem is suspected but is still in
early stages of diagnosis.
!
Good: No problems identified on plant.

Preferred Plant Status ReportPreferred Plant Status Report
! Report produced for Production as arecommendation from Engineering & Maintenance
on which plant to operate based on plant conditionmonitoring.
! Maintenance Philosophy involves running the
poorest condition plant when standby plant isavailable (providing production is not affected).
! Preferred Status Report is updated as required byEngineering Group but at least monthly.
! Further CM detail can be obtained by Production ifneeded by using the CMR System.

Summary of CM Reporting SystemSummary of CM Reporting System
! The system is a tool to assist with machinediagnostics and presentation of information.
! CM Information is used to support assetmanagement.
!
Maintenance statistical information for assetmanagement comes from the MMS & otherengineering reports.
! A Future Aim is to integrate the CM ReportingSystem into the Maintenance Management System,with direct links to asset management plans.

! After downloading data intothe CM software an
Exception Report isproduced for plant with analarm condition.
Overview of Vibration and Oil Analysis Alarms
! CM Software has alarms for vibration and oil analysisdata.
! Exception Report will identify the alarm level, plant, %
change etc
! Alarm data is analysed. CMR database is referenced toshow historical problems, and existing condition assessmentprior to the new fault.
! Assessment determines how to deal with fault (Work Orderor monitor).
! Information recorded in CMR System.

Vibration Alarm SettingVibration Alarm Setting
! Alarms were set for the vibration software aftercollecting baseline and historical data(approximately 3-6 months). Ongoing continuousreview of alarms at a minimum of 12 monthly.
Alarms include both overall magnitude and
spectrum narrow band alarming for earlyidentification of plant problems.
Semi-automated exception reporting system
established using Condition Monitoringsoftware.
Plant is grouped into categories to allow
groups of alarms of like plant to be changedsimultaneously or individually.

Alarms
Vibration Overall or Magnitude
Alarms! Reference: Standards (ISO or AS), OEMrecommendation, History & experience.

Typically set a warning and critical alarm.! Warning: 1st alarm should be 50-100% greater than
the average of the trend (use + 1 standard deviationif necessary)
! Critical: 2nd alarm should be aproximately150-300% greater than the average of the trend or 2 x1st alarm.
8/8/2019 Nick Lee - CM Reporting and Alarms
28/42
Vibration Spectrum AlarmsVibration Spectrum Alarms
! Mostly use the spectrum narrow band alarms usingstatistical processing.
! Spectrum Warning for gs, mm/s or ESP:
Rolling Element Bearings & Journals Typically use +1 Standard Deviation (68% data) + 100%
from average
Gearboxes: +1 or 2 Standard Deviations (68%-95% data) + 100%
from average
! Significant historical faults may need to filtered out toavoid distortion of data and another reason to set alarmsearly in the life of the plant.

29/42
Vibration Spectrum AlarmsVibration Spectrum Alarms
! Minimum Thresholds (minimum level a narrow bandalarm will use):
mm/s: Ranges from 0.2 0.5 (100-3000rpm)
gs: 0.2 -1.0 (100-3000rpm)
Gearboxes May need a higher minimum threshold in velocity due to
higher noise floor in spectrum.
mm/s: Ranges from 0.2 0.75 (100-3000rpm) gs: 0.2 -1.5 (100-3000rpm)
! Constant Band Width setting = 10 lines of resolution
This means the Minimum spectrum alarm width = (FrequencySpan/Lines of Resolution) x 10
! Low Frequency Cut Off = 1% (of spectrum Fmax)

Alarm StatisticsAlarm Statistics
Vibration
! 10% of total alarm number initiated after testing (approximately). A typical pumpset will have 12 measurements for vibration.
! 2-3% of total alarms will be genuine faults or problems that needmonitoring
! 7-8% will be from spectrum alarms that are due to: Minor resonance peaks, noise background/cable), plant
operational changes, unidentified frequencies.
Oil
! 10% of plant will have alarms (approximately)
! 5% of alarms will be genuine faults or problems that need
monitoring! 5% due to early initiation because of statistical alarm short comings
with low values.Example A vibration trend change from 2mm/s to 4mm/s is significant.
An Oil analysis trend change from 2ppm of iron to 4ppm isnot as significant but is still a 100% change.

Undetected FailuresUndetected Failures
! If alarms do not detect a plant fault or failure check:
Frequency of data collection
Method of alarm setting and values
CM methods used.
i.e. include wear debris analysis in routine
oil sample testing or for exceptions Include higher lines of resolution in
vibration readings
Include additional vibration measurementtypes, locations or directions.

SummarySummary
! Condition Monitoring is an important part of AssetManagement and CM Reporting information isavailable for all stake holders.
! The reporting system has two levels ofcommunication:
Detailed level for CM Practitioners.
Summary Level for other stake holders
! Alarms are a combination of overall and statistical.
!
Condition Monitoring information supports the pro-active maintenance approach:
Address the root cause of faults and improveplant performance and availability.
