      1. CRITICAL SPARES
        1. Spares often not included on Capital Projects.
        2. Spare Parts updates required per MOC, but not always completed
        3. Using spares to do PM change-outs can leave you without warehouse spares.
        4. Sharing spare parts across sites/companies.
      2. MAINTENANCE WORK PROCESS
        1. Job plan feedback
        2. Turnover Communications
        3. Vibration / PdM Rounds
        4. Poor communication of maintenance issues can lead to normalization of deviance.
        5. Separate coker maintenance group.
        6. MAZE PUMPS / COKE FINES
          1. Submersible Electric
            1. Moisture issues
            2. Floating suction to reduce fines pickup
            3. Spargers to agitate: clean out
              1. PM for vac truck cleaning
              2. ELECTRICAL PM
                1. Switch gear checks
                2. Seal offs / Junction box covers
                3. Corrosion
                  1. Cable trays w/ armoured cable
                  2. Infrared inspection
                  3. INSPECTIONS (PRE TA)
                    1. Challenges in developing TA plans
                    2. Update Inspection Plans based on incidents
                    3. PMI on construction & maintenance activities
                      1. Check coming into warehouse
                      2. Fixed interval or risk based inspection plans
                      3. NUCLEAR LEVEL GAUGE
                        1. Must set with drum water full.
                        2. HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
                          1. Water Contamination
                            1. Full time vacuum dehydrator
                            2. Low pressure cooling water or hi- temp seals.  ( remove water cooler)
                            3. Ensure drain lines clear
                            4. Oil change requires full system flush (turbulent flush not necessarily chemical clean)
                            5. Ensure new cylinders flushed prior to use.
                            6. SPARE UNHEADING VALVES
                              1. Cost justification?
                                1. Multiple components “borrowed”
                                2. Allows proactive rebuilds
                                  1. Rolling swap-outs can significantly reduce TA duration
                                  2. Button head studs can prevent breaking off studs
                                  3. CHUTE PLATE REPAIRS
                                    1. Worn steel/ exposed concrete and rebar
                                    2. Consider “E” ss plate plug welded to original c.s chute
