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.
