PROJECT SUMMARY REPORT

HIGH VELOCITY OIL FLUSHING SERVICE Jet Water Pump


Prepared by: Sania Munford CMRP CLS OMA MLT MLA


Introduction:

This report documents the High Velocity Oil Flushing service performed on the Jet Pump at a Texas Gulf Coast Refinery facility during a large turnaround. This report documents the objectives, scope, performance, cleanliness specifications, flush logs, photo documentation, and safety while performing the flush. This flush was ongoing concurrently with another high velocity flush within the refinery.



Benefits:

  • Peace of Mind that the lube oil systems have been cleaned to industry-accepted standards.

  • Improved long-term reliability of oil systems due to cleaner systems via High Velocity Oil Flushing.


Primary Objectives:

  • To complete all work focusing on Goal Zero with no Safety Incidents or Injuries!

  • To work with Refinery as a team to provide detailed planning and procedures in advance of service execution.

  • To provide High Velocity Oil Flushing Services on Jet Pump lube oil system.

  • To provide that the lubricating oil systems and Turbine Oil cSt 32 viscosity product meets the requirements set forth by Refinery.


Overall Scope:

  • To provide Project Management, technical assistance, labor and equipment to perform the flushing service.

  • To document that the oil and system cleanliness as required has been achieved.


Performance Documentation:

All objectives were met as agreed upon. Approved T&M sheets, flush logs, signed procedures, particle counts and photo documentation will follow in this document.
