Description:
The goal of this session is to bridge the gap between the Rotating Equipment session, which is typically design and new equipment focused, and the Maintenance & Reliability session, which has typically focused on cracking furnaces and other static equipment. This session will address design, maintenance, and reliability concerns with olefins plant rotating equipment, including furnace ID fans and turbomachinery.
