Asset integrity management refers to the maintenance and inspection systems used to ensure that equipment remains available and reliable. Asset integrity systems include rotating equipment maintenance (e.g., pumps, compressors, motors) and the mechanical integrity of stationary equipment (e.g., pipelines, pressure vessels, piping foundations, offshore structures).
Rotating equipment maintenance is the combination of corrective, preventative and predictive processes used to maintain the asset integrity of rotating equipment such as compressors, pumps, motors, generators and engines. Oxy operates well over 1 million horsepower of rotating equipment on a daily basis. The company uses a computerized maintenance management system to keep track of information and for maintenance scheduling and inventory control.
Mechanical integrity is the combination of corrective, preventative and predictive processes used to maintain the asset integrity of stationary equipment such as piping, pressure vessels, pipelines, offshore structures, cranes, electrical components, relief valves, derricks and atmospheric tanks. Oxy uses a computerized inspection management system to facilitate the maintenance of such equipment.
