Production Equipment Maintenance That Prevents Downtime
Separators, treaters and knockouts fail in predictable ways. Knowing the pattern makes maintenance planning far less reactive.
Failures are rarely a surprise
Most surface production equipment gives warning before it stops working. Level control drifts, burners short-cycle, coatings blister, and internals foul on a schedule that tracks with the fluid being handled.
Recording those signals across a facility turns maintenance into something planned around production rather than something that interrupts it.
Common maintenance items
The following items recur across most tank batteries and production facilities.
- Level control and interface instrument verification
- Burner and firetube inspection on treating equipment
- Internal inspection for fouling, scale and solids accumulation
- Relief and safety device testing
- External coating condition and touch-up
- Valve, fitting and gasket replacement
Getting parts without a long wait
The cost of a maintenance item is usually the wait, not the part. Smith Industries fabricates and supplies replacement components locally from Midland, including parts for equipment we did not originally build.
