Reliability Block Diagram Method for RAM Study of Dehydration Unit

Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) can make a huge different in plant sector. Maintenance with support of good RAM analysis can help in reducing the system unavailability and its effect. For this project, RAM analysis will be done using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) technique. The data involve will the time to failure and time to repair data. The analysis can help to identify critical component that can affect the whole system reliability. From that, further planning in term of maintenance and improvement can be done. With a good modeling and analysis, it is possible to make availability improvement. The research will be based on the Dehydration Unit (DHU) of a Gas Processing Plant (GPP). DHU is essential in a GPP to remove water from then natural gas. If the water is not being removed, it will affect the transmission and the processing of the gas.
