CPB 20004: Plant Utility & Maintenance
• Static Equipment
• Rotating Equipment
• Vessel
• Reactor
• Boiler
• Cooling tower
• Pump
• Compressor
• Turbine
1. Mechanical Equipment/Plant
Utilities
• STATIC EQUIPMENT
• Comply with FMA Regulation (CF Requirement).
• More concentrate in prevention and any modification must
obtained the approval from DOSH.
• FMA = Factories Machinery Act.
• Moving part.
• Design and specification (head, types of fluid, capacity).
• Operating condition (pressure, noise, vibration, lubrication,
mechanical seal, belting, roller, alignment, cooling system).
• Efficiency of the equipment.
1. Mechanical Equipment/Plant
Utilities
• VESSEL
• Equipment for storage.
• Normally store liquid chemical.
• Include pressure vessel.
• Should have a strength of stress and strain
especially at welding part.
1. Mechanical Equipment/Plant
Utilities
• Reactor
• Equipment for reaction take part.
• Main equipment to produce the product.
• Boilers
• Boilers are fuel-burning appliances that produce either
hot water or steam that gets circulated through piping for
heating or process uses.
• Proper maintenance and operation of boilers systems is
important with regard to efficiency and reliability.
– Fire-tube Boiler
– Water-tube Boiler
– Electric Boiler

CHECKLISTS
1. Mechanical Equipment/ Plant
Utilities
• Cooling Tower
• A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which
two fluids (air and water) are brought into direct contact
with each other to affect the transfer of heat.
• In a “spray-filled” tower, this is accomplished by spraying
a flowing mass of water into a rain-like pattern, through
which an upward moving mass flow of cool air is induced
by the action of a fan

Utilities
• Pump
• Used to transfer liquid form one location to another.
• Centrifugal pumps basically consist of a stationary pump
casing and an impeller mounted on a rotating shaft.
• The pump casing provides a pressure boundary for the
pump and contains channels to properly direct the
suction and discharge flow.
• The pump casing has suction and discharge
penetrations for the main flow path of the pump and
normally has a small drain and vent fittings to remove
gases trapped in the pump casing or to drain the pump
casing for maintenance.

CHECKLIST
1. Mechanical Equipment/Plant
Utilities
• COMPRESSORS
• It runs tools and machinery, provides power for
material handling systems, and ensures clean,
breathable air in contaminated environments.
• A plant’s expense for its compressed air is often
thought of only in terms of the cost of the
equipment.
• Energy costs, however, represent as much as 70% of
the total expense in producing compressed air.
Compressor
Checklist
1. Mechanical Equipment/Plant
Utilities
• Turbine
• Equipment that used to move other equipment such as
blower, pump, compressors.
• Divided: steam and gas turbine.

How?
• Reduced friction & power requirement (bearing, plug valve)
• Reduced wear
• Heat Dissipation
• Rust & Corrosion Prevention
• Prevent Contamination & Solid Deposition
4. Lubrication
• SELECTION OF LUBRICANT
• Part Requirement (types, temperature, pressure)
• Load and Application (speed, duration)
• Specification (viscosity, additive)
• External influence (in contact with contamination)
4. Lubrication - Types of Lubricant
PROPERTIES OF LUBRICANTS
• Viscosity
• Oiliness
• Flash and Fire Point
• Carbon deposits
• Anti corrosives
• Additives
