Assessment of reliability of operational safety of petrochemical facilities

Solution of problems of safe and reliable operation of machinery units of hazardous production facilities in petrochemistry is closely connected to risk monitoring in operation. Hazardous production facilities monitoring requires real-time assessment of machinery reliability during its operation, which means, in particular, to know the machinery average running time before nucleation of a defect, and machinery condition turning unacceptable. Besides, the analysis of hazardous production facilities in petrochemistry has revealed that more than 70% of failures causing shutdown of facilities and reducing technical readiness coefficient are failures of machinery units.

In that connection, the solution of one of the most important problems of safe and reliable operation of machinery units of continuous hazardous productions in petrochemistry can be found in determining the average running time of machines considering their operation in different technical conditions.

The paper is aimed at development of models and methods for assessment of the average time  of safe and reliable operation of hazardous production facilities machinery in petrohemistry by means of studying their operational behavior in various technical conditions.
