    Sparing Philosophy
    Leave A Comment / Process Design Engineering / By Rumara Engineering

    When Designing A Process Facility, A Concept Called “Sparing Philosophy” Is Used, I.E., If A Certain Equipment Fails,
    Can I Keep The Plant Running Using A Spare?

    The Below Image Explains The Terminology To Assign How Many Pumps Are Working (W) & How Many Are On
    Standby (S).

    Some Brief Points On How The Sparing Is Arrived At,

    1. Life Cycle Cost [LCC] Reduction – The Criticality & Reliability Of The Unit Operation Decides The Sparing
    Philosophy. To Achieve High LCC, Time Intervals Between Failures & Repairs Should Also Be High.

    2. Cost Savings – Every Time A Pump Fails, You Lose Production, I.E., Downtime. So The Sparing Is Chosen By
    Weighing The Production Losses Vs. Cost Of Purchase, Maintenance, Labour & Cost Of Capital Of The Equipment.

    3. Spare Inventory – Sparing Is Chosen Depending On, If The Spares Are Available At Site Or Kept In Some
    Warehouse Elsewhere Or One Has To Call Up The Vendor To Purchase.

    4. Interchangeability – Being Able To Interchange Pumps Between Units During Failures To Reduce Downtime.

    Bottomline:

    Basically, When A Pump Fails Without A Spare & You Have To Wait For All Eternity Before The Pump Is Fixed, Up &
    Running, Then You’ve Lost The Plot About Asset Management!!
