Failure Mode and Effect Criticality Analysis using Multi-Perspective Fuzzy Rule-Based Method: A Case Study on Refinery Catalyst Slide Valve
Keywords:
Failure Mode & Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA); Fuzzy Logic, refinery valves, Catalyst Slide Valve,Abstract
Modern industries, particularly oil and gas, robust maintenance management and optimization are vital for increased safety, plant availability, and maintenance cost reduction. The maintenance strategy is therefore crucial, especially under economic pressures on equipment reliability. Failure Mode and Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA) stands as an important tool in evaluating and mitigating risks within industrial processes, particularly in the domain of refinery operations where safety and efficiency are crucial. This paper delves into the Fuzzy based FMECA methodologies through the incorporation of multi-perspective risk analysis specifically tailored for refinery Fluid Catalytic Cracker catalyst slide valve. This study aims to demonstrate the unconventional multi-perspectives into FMECA by accommodating more risk considerations through case study with input from experts’ survey and Fuzzy rule-base analyses.
