Estudio de prefactibilidad para la implementación del programa mejorado de mantenimiento preventivo de las estaciones reguladoras en la Empresa Gas Natural Fenosa en Bogotá

Abstract

Initially, this graduation project contextualizes the reader about the maintenance work that has been carried out in the regulation stations of the high pressure lines of the company Gas Natural Fenosa in Bogotá. In this context, it is possible to identify one of the most important causes of some deficiencies that current maintenance programming has and its repercussions both at the operational and budgetary level within the company, and at the external level in terms of quality, guarantee and continuity of the gas supply for the satisfaction of the customer or end user of the service. The main problem, and the motivation to implement a new improved maintenance program, is the need to optimize the use of resources to find economic benefits within the company and minimize failures or deficiencies in the operation of some stations that they have come to cause considerable losses in social and economic fields for the company and for a significant number of its customers. In this way, the need arises to avoid such failures by implementing an improved preventive maintenance model. This new model changes the frequencies of the maintenance work in the stations and unlike the current model, this new maintenance plan projects the execution of the work depending on the variables of the environment of each station that can affect the operation of each of them. . In other words, an improved maintenance model will be implemented, since under the current maintenance schedule the influence of some variables such as humidity, temperature, consumption and gas impurities in the operation of stations. Under the execution of the current program, some stations have had to be visited and intervened without being necessary and other stations fail before their next scheduled maintenance visit.
