Abstract
Reliability studies are an essential part of every management program for equipment maintenance. As systems become more complex, maintenance strategies become critical for making sustainable management decisions. Unexpected failures in a system can be the primary reason for the poor performance of industrial machinery and equipment. Various fault resistance mechanisms are utilized to make critical decisions for the system. In the present paper, a two-parameter Weibull distribution approach is considered to evaluate the heat exchanger datasets in the petrochemical industry using Isograph Hazop + v7.0 software. As the effective execution of a system depends on its reliability and planning under suitable conditions, this paper presents a strategy for finding the reliability to calculate the preventive maintenance intervals in actual systems. This approach leads to fewer number of inspections and fewer repair activities, higher safety and reliability of industrial units and also, higher economic benefit.
