Abstract
A recent business process re-engineering effort undertaken at NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. provided an opportunity to completely review and improve upon strategies and methodologies used in the maintenance of a very complex natural gas transportation system. In order to achieve safety and reliability in an expanding and aging system, a completely new approach to maintenance planning was adopted based on a Reliability-Centered Maintenance strategy. This is the first application of this approach to a gas transportation system. Development of this maintenance methodology, its major components, and specifically how it has been applied to a pipeline are discussed. The integration of this strategy into a complete pipeline integrity management system allowing full assessment of all hazards specific to the pipe is also reviewed. Examples of results and benefits from the first systems analyzed using this new approach are presented.
NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd.最近进行的业务流程重组工作为全面审查和改进非常复杂的天然气运输系统维护中使用的策略和方法提供了机会。为了在一个不断扩展和老化的系统中实现安全可靠,采用了一种基于以可靠性为中心的维修策略的全新维修计划方法。这是该方法在天然气输送系统中的首次应用。讨论了这种维护方法的发展,其主要组成部分,特别是如何将其应用于管道。将该策略整合到完整的管道完整性管理系统中,允许对管道特定的所有危害进行全面评估。给出了使用这种新方法分析的第一个系统的结果和效益的例子。
