A guide for evaluating most recurring and serious incidents that may occur in a chemical plant. It introduces the RCFA method to define deviations from acceptable performance levels, isolate the root causes of equipment failures, and develop cost-effective corrective actions that prevent recurrence. The three parts present analysis techniques used to investigate and resolve reliability-related problems; specific design, installation, and operating parameters for particular types of plant equipment; and a troubleshooting guide for most of the machine types found in a chemical plant.

Root Cause Failure Analysis provides the concepts needed to effectively perform industrial troubleshooting investigations. It describes the methodology to perform Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), one of the hottest topics currently in maintenance engineering. It also includes detailed equipment design and troubleshooting guidelines, which are needed to perform RCFA on machinery found in most production facilities.
This is the latest book in a new series published by Butterworth-Heinemann in association with PLANT ENGINEERING magazine. PLANT ENGINEERING fills a unique information need for the men and women who operate and maintain industrial plants. It bridges the information gap between engineering education and practical application. As technology advances at increasingly faster rates, this information service is becoming more and more important. Since its first issue in 1947, PLANT ENGINEERING has stood as the leading problem-solving information source for America's industrial plant engineers, and this book series will effectively contribute to that resource and reputation.
