In the oil and gas industry, including in refineries and process facilities, the system that is used to create the movement of the media through the pipes and system components is known as rotating equipment. As this equipment is all vital to the system operation and performance, when turbines, generators, compressors, and other components fail or start to show signs of wear and tear, having a reliable rotating equipment repair service to call is critical.
Since all equipment has a life cycle, and the further into the duty cycle the equipment is, the more likely there is to be a repair need, researching and finding a rotating equipment repair service in advance of the need for the service is always time well-spent.
The internet makes it easy to learn the basics about each service, and it also provides other avenues to turn to for evaluation of the repair companies that are marketing their services.
Specialization in the Petrochemical Industry
Using a company with a focus on providing installation, maintenance, and repairs for equipment in the petrochemical industry should be the first priority. Not all millwright services have the experience of working in petrochemical plants, refineries, and other process industries in this sector, which means they may not have the expertise to quickly identify the problem and make the necessary repairs.
Years of Experience
The years of experience with a rotating equipment repair service is not just for the company itself, but for the team of millwrights, they send out to complete the job. The best companies offer highly experienced and professional millwrights with the ability to complete small or large repairs with the least amount of downtime for the system.
Finally, take the time to contact the equipment repair service. If they provide maintenance contracts, this may be the optional choice to reduce the risk of unscheduled downtime on rotating equipment.
