The maintenance of process vessels mandated by different industry standards to increase the longevity of the vessel, helping in concocting smoothly in the long-run. The process not only diminishes the risk of vessel failure and improves the safety of users as well as of the environment. Maintenance involves the repair or refurbishment of broken and worn parts. The types of services seen in industries are-

  • Preventive maintenance is one of the crucial types of maintenance established by the manufacturer. The job is delivered at regular intervals to avoid the complete breakdown of a vessel.
  • Breakdown maintenance performed under the failure of a distinct part of the equipment or as part of a sudden defect.
  • Periodic maintenance usually prescribed by the manufacturer and performed as per the recommendations of the manufacturer only.

It’s crucial to know the nature of vessel utilization, thus essential to source them from a trusted manufacturer. The ductwork associated with the vessel is an inseparable part of it and needs an equal amount of nurturing akin to the vessel. Proper ductwork maintenance needs to get delivered annually to fix and repair the pain points before they cause more obstacles or consume even more energy. There are mainly six things to look for while researching any detected spans of ductwork.

  • Handling of damaged flexible ducts: Ducts often composed of a flexible material that moves lightly, as air passes through it and causes nuances. Over time, this movement may cause sagging that can rip or otherwise degrade the ducts. Ductwork maintenance to fix the obstacle may entail ensuring sagging ducts before they shred.

  • Ducts on the floor: The plastic ducts are often placed hastily on the floor, where rodents can get inside, and water also can cause damage. The ductwork should be secured above the floor whenever possible.

  • The necessity of insulation: All displayed metal pipes should be covered, especially if they run through open spaces. Some of the ductworks might get insulated on the interior. Simply, pat the surface to test this. If it appears hollow, then no insulation is likely installed.

  • Unsewn insulation: Loosely connected insulation can get loose over time. Secure any sagging insulation with tape to ensure it lingers in place forever.

  • Filthy insulation: If you came across dark stains on patches of insulation, then that might cause your duct to get exposed in air, along with dirt and dust, passing through the insulation. Ductwork maintenance should include eliminating the stained insulation and sealing the ductwork aftermath and lastly substituting the insulation for a holistic solution.

  • Uncovering duct tape: Despite its name, usage of duct tape is different, and that never implies to seal any ductwork. Any old duct tape and excess should be excluded and replaced with a permanent duct-sealing solution that will not strip or crack over time.
