Study Notes

PWTS Challenges

  • Frequent high level issues in PWTS (Plant Water Treatment System) due to poor performance and integrity of Level Control Valve (LCV)
  • LCV not included in planned replacement schedule after Work Package Budget (WPB) and Budget rationalization
  • Cost of replacing LCV is substantial, ranging from 150,000to150,000 to 150,000to200,000

Alternative Solution

  • Utilize data from valve positioner to build a strong case for Asset to purchase a replacement LCV
