The research on water jetting for maintenance of Heat ExchangersSamenvatting
In all sectors of the economy, whether in the governmental or private sector, one of the most crucial factors for success is the ability to maintain one’s assets most efficiently and effectively.
Finding the best approach for the maintenance of an asset means that it will create the best value possible, that can be transformed into a profit, like production rate or revenue. If the maintenance strategy will fail it can create certain risks or limitations in the operation of an asset that consequently can shorten the lifespan of an asset, or even make it worthless.
The “DOW” company, or “the client”, is one of the world’s leading suppliers of chemicals, plastics, synthetic fibers, and agricultural products. This company is international and has more than 33 billion US dollars in net worth. Besides having a lot of industrial assets around the globe to take care of this company also participates in environmental care programs, such as climate protection action plans, the circular economy, and the development of “safer” materials. The company’s effort was recognized by international agencies and governmental institutions several times, for example, “DOW” became a 2008 Energy Star Partner of the Year for excellence in energy management and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
However, in the modern world with its climatical and environmental challenges, it is not merely an achievement to develop environmentally friendly strategies, it is a matter of utmost importance for the future of nature and humanity. Therefore “DOW” keeps setting new ambitious goals and roadmaps, like the 2025 sustainability goals of the company. Therefore, the company is in constant search of sustainable and environmental development. However, to achieve it, the breakdown of all the processes is needed to find a way to optimize the operations of “DOW”. Only by improving every link of the production and operational chain, it is possible to achieve development for a whole system.
