项目摘要

During a recent meeting with a senior executive of a major Canadian mining company the applicant was informed that their worldwide maintenance costs were 1.25 billion dollars. Historically, mining has struggled to understand, model and change the parameters that influence their maintenance costs. The applicant recently finished a one year sabbatical during which extensive time was spent working with the processing plant reliability group of a major oil sands company. During this tenure it became apparent that there is limited and practically no models that describe the influence of plant operational parameters on plant equipment maintenance and reliability. In fact this is true of mining process plants in general. An interesting observation with regards to oil sands ithat it is the integration of two industries oil production and mining. In your typical oil processing plant the operating environment is stable and they will run for years without major outages. In a typical mining processing plant the equipment is subjected to a significantly more dynamic operating environment and consequently a higher frequency of maintenance outages. When you combine a mining environment with an oil processing plant the result is an extremely variable operating environment whith plant maintenance costs in excess of 1 billion dollars per year for three existing operations in Fort McMurray Alberta.

在最近与一家加拿大一家矿业公司高级主管的一次会议上，申请人被告知他们的全球维护成本为12.5亿美元。从历史上看，采矿一直在努力理解，建模和改变影响其维护成本的参数。申请人最近完成了为期一年的休假，在此期间，与一家主要油砂公司的加工工厂可靠性小组一起度过了很长时间。在这个任期期间，很明显，有限且实际上没有任何模型来描述植物运营参数对植物设备维护和可靠性的影响。实际上，一般而言，采矿工艺工厂都是如此。关于油砂的一个有趣的观察是，这是两个工业生产和采矿的整合。在您典型的石油加工工厂中，操作环境稳定，它们将在没有大量停电的情况下运行多年。在典型的采矿工厂中，设备经历了更大的动态操作环境，因此维护中断频率更高。当您将采矿环境与石油加工厂相结合时，结果是一个极度可变的操作环境，而工厂维护成本每年超过10亿美元，用于麦克默里堡艾伯塔堡的三项现有业务。
