Whether the equipment is neat in appearance, running normally and performing well is the management level of the chemical enterprise. The management of the enterprise leaders Ability is a direct reflection of the quality and skills of enterprise employees. Only by doing a good job in enterprise equipment management can we effectively improve the level of enterprise management, establish a good corporate image, enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise, and achieve sustainable development of the enterprise.

2 Chemical production equipment management content

2.1 Basic management of equipment

Basic management of equipment includes equipment file management and equipment ledger management. Equipment managers should establish their own basic files for each chemical production equipment, and record in detail the specific conditions of equipment purchase, installation, acceptance, use, maintenance, repair, and scrapping, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment. Equipment ledgers include equipment daily operation and inspection ledgers, maintenance ledgers, inspection ledgers, etc., and record in detail the daily operation of equipment (such as working hours, work tasks, operators, reasons for downtime and maintenance, maintenance personnel and maintenance duration, etc. ) and the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment. Equipment spare parts and spare parts ledger records are also important. They can comprehensively reflect the reserve status of equipment spare parts and spare parts. Sufficient spare parts and spare parts can provide guarantee for the normal operation of equipment, but excessive reserves will increase inventory and occupy funds, which should be Depending on the specific production situation, more wearing parts should be reserved, and non-wearing parts should be less reserved, or even not at all.

2.2 Equipment maintenance management

Equipment inspection is mainly carried out by professional technicians using sense organs and special instruments to check the performance of the equipment to determine whether the equipment meets production requirements to prevent equipment safety accidents occurrence. Equipment inspections should be carried out by designated persons and locations, regularly or irregularly, to ensure the effectiveness of the inspections. Once a safety hazard or equipment failure is discovered during the inspection, maintenance should be carried out immediately. Problems that cannot be solved on the spot should be reported to the relevant departments, a maintenance plan should be formulated and implemented on schedule. If necessary, the equipment can be sent to a professional repair unit for repair or hired. Experts go to the production site for inspection and repair. Equipment or parts that cannot be repaired should be scrapped or replaced immediately.

Regular or unscheduled maintenance of equipment can provide real-time understanding of the operation of the equipment, timely discovery and elimination of equipment faults or hidden dangers, avoid further expansion of hidden dangers, extend the service life of the equipment, prevent further development of equipment failures, effectively prevent equipment accidents, and reduce production costs. Improve work efficiency.

2.3 Equipment maintenance

Maintenance of production equipment can effectively extend the service life of the equipment, improve product quality, and increase economic benefits. Maintenance of chemical production equipment mainly includes maintenance, anti-corrosion and lubrication. Routine maintenance mainly involves the equipment operators on duty cleaning and inspecting the equipment after each shift or before the start of the next shift, replenishing lubricants, tightening parts that are prone to falling off, and checking whether there are safety hazards, etc. to ensure that The equipment can operate safely during this shift. Regular maintenance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis involves professional and technical personnel testing, calibrating, and maintaining the equipment, and conducting necessary acceptance assessments. Chemical equipment is mostly used to handle chemical reagents with strong acidity and alkalinity or operate in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. It is very important to anti-corrosion treatment of chemical production equipment. Equipment managers should regularly check and record the corrosion of equipment in detail, clean up waste residue and waste liquid in the equipment in a timely manner, replace equipment parts in a timely manner if the corrosion is serious, and scrap the equipment immediately if the corrosion is serious. Lubricating equipment can reduce equipment wear and extend equipment service life. Lubricants of qualified quality that are suitable for production equipment should be selected and properly kept. The equipment should be lubricated regularly or when necessary, and detailed records should be kept for future reference.

3 Chemical production equipment management strategies

3.1 Promote full participation

Equipment management should not be just the job of equipment operators, equipment managers or equipment maintenance personnel Tasks are the common responsibilities and obligations of all employees of the company. Normally operating equipment is the guarantee for safe production and high-quality products, and is closely related to every employee of the company. Advocate full participation in equipment management, improve equipment management awareness of all employees, let them fully realize the importance of equipment management, take the initiative to care about the use of equipment in use, improve equipment operation skills, and improve the equipment management level of the enterprise.

3.2 Strengthen education and training

On the premise of the participation of all employees, strengthen education and training on chemical production equipment. Education and training should be targeted, and the training content should be selected according to the different training objects. The training content for front-line production employees should be closer to the actual production and easy to understand, and the training of professional and technical personnel should increase the technical level of education. content. In addition to classroom explanations, the training format should also include practical training content. The instructors can be external experts, professional teachers, or experienced employees within the company, using people around them to explain things around them, making education and training more practical.
