Reliability in High-Voltage Equipment: Building a Culture of Best Practices
Speaker: Arismendis Pena, SD Myers, LLC
Time: 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM
Audience Level: Intermediate
The success of any reliability program is based on the ability to be able to change the culture from a reactive one to a proactive one. The challenges the industrial world must overcome in relation to high-voltage electrical systems are many and varied, but the three most significant are leading reliability from an organizational point of view, the implementation of best practices in high-voltage electrical systems, and planning of legacy knowledge that will migrate as each generation retires. We will discuss each of these variables as exactly what they are, variables – not barriers to overcome.
Stochastic RBD Cost Analysis in Life Cycle Aligned with ISO55000
Speaker: Luis Alberto Tilleria, CMRP, Schlumberger
Time: 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM
Audience Level: Intermediate
In the oil industry, one of the most important systems is the power system, which supplies energy to oil production facilities. The goal is to show how decision-making based on reliability engineering helps one make appropriate decisions and substantially boost earnings, reducing uncertainty in decision-making. A block diagrams analysis will be used, associating the risk of reconditioning due to equipment failures and operating costs. After quantifying risk, cost and profits, the decision becomes easy when it comes to knowing which operating mode the generation system must work in – in other words, how many generators must be operating and how many must be on standby. All this methodology is directly aligned with ISO55000-based asset management, which aims at maximum profitability over the life cycle.
Strategic Maintenance Management in I&C, Based on Asset Conditions
Speakers: Fredy Antonio Garcia Pineda, CMRP, APTIM
Alexander Rodriguez Sarmiento, APTIM
Time: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Audience Level: Advanced
Through managing the critical I&C assets of the processes of various industries, combining the predictive intelligence of automated supervision and monitoring software with the advanced technology of analytical and decision support for solutions in improving the performance of asset management in real time, it is now possible to implement a maintenance strategy based on conditions of asset performance, enabling one to diagnose, prioritize, view and report on the status of assets, strengthening their layers of protection. The strategy enables the implementation of interventions in accordance with the real condition of I&C assets, eliminating intrusive activities on fixed frequencies, which can cause faults due to intervention. Fewer man-hours and lower costs, plus expanded availability of monitored I&C assets make this methodology very beneficial to operations, guaranteeing reliability and optimal performance.

Modal Analysis for Reliability of Submersible Centrifugal Water Pumps
Speaker: Jairo Alvaro Cotaquispe Huamani, Vibrason IPM
Time: 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM
Audience Level: Advanced
This work reflects the importance of the modal analysis applied to mechanical and rotating systems in the process of guaranteeing the structural and operational integrity of these systems, because the typical procedures for recording and identifying vibration signatures for diagnosing faults, contrasted with standard acceptable limits for operation, may not be sufficient for identifying certain conditions and could cause equipment to be rejected even if it is not defective.
Optimization of Predictive Maintenance and Industrial Safety in Electrical Inspections
Speaker: Hugo Pereira, IRISS
Time: 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM
Audience Level: Advanced
One of the most important issues across our industries is that engineers are not implementing predictive technologies to prevent stoppages and reduce costs at plants. This is a serious problem in Latin American and worldwide. Every year, thousands of electricians are injured or killed in their work. Safety and industrial organizations all over the world are implementing regulations prohibiting workers from opening electrical panels to perform maintenance unless they are working under safe conditions, and guaranteeing that the safety training and knowledge of the equipment transferred to all those involved in the maintenance operation are adequate. In my presentation, I will talk about how to implement technologies to take better advantage of them and detect incipient problems at the plant to give a better, longer life to company assets and complying with industrial safety regulation and standards.
Understanding Reliability in the Aeronautics Field
Speaker: Andres Augusto Lobo Criado, CMRP, Fikal SAS
Time: 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM
Audience Level: Intermediate
The aeronautics industry moves close to 12 million passengers on over 180,000 flights per day. How good is the reliability process for maintaining standards of reliability and safety?
Lessons Learned with the Initial Implementation of Online Monitoring Systems for Inductive Equipment in Power Systems
Speaker: Gerardo Guerra García, CMRP, Grupo Energía Bogota
Time: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Audience Level: Intermediate
This work is a comprehensive presentation of the experiences and lessons learned with the implementation of online monitoring systems for inductive equipment in high-voltage electrical systems. It will present an analysis of the implementation process and seek to extract points of improvement for future acquisitions and implementations.
