Modular framework
A query that is commonly
encountered in LTARP project is:
What requirements do apply in order
to implement LTARP effectively?
The main characteristic of an LTARP
project is:
Trending, trending, trending.
In all cases, trends are assessed in
order to determine the specific
changes over time that are decisive
for an exchange or major repair of
equipment.
Commonly, equipment condition is
assessed by:
condition checks, resulting in still
good or need for repair. This
approach is commonly known as
the stoplight approach.
condition assessments. Actual
condition is determined by
reference to quality specifications
that apply for the supply phase.
In service acceptance criteria are
only seldom supplied as an
integrated part of the design.
generic equipment functional
requirements as per supplier.
Plant specific acceptance criteria
based on actual required
performance, are even more rare.
Commonly the performance
requirement refers to the design
specs which usually contains
overcapacity. Minimum
performance requirements are
rare.
Conclusions
As discussed, the core of the LTARP
approach is as follows:
It acts as a plugs-in onto already
available approaches by which
conditional changes are
monitored.
If reveals the Stoplight situations
and will opt for predictive capacity,
since stoplight assessments
commonly lack in predictive
capacity.
It retro-engineers the original
designed lifetime calculation by
incorporating the actual observed
conditional behavior over time.
It reveals the decisive End Of Life
scenarios, which can validate the
original reference as per design or
may reveal as yet hidden
characteristics as per specification
of the decisive scenario.
