Reducing Main Engine Failure using the FMEA Method in LPG Refineries

The operation of the machine continuously is required to get targets with a high level of effectiveness, so that improper maintenance and handling of the machine can cause a decrease in the level of productivity and efficiency of the engine. With frequent damage to the components of the gas engine needed, the right method is to be able to reduce or inhibit damage that will occur. Failure analysis is done by the cause and effect method, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). The results of the FMEA analysis and risk priority number (RPN) for engine failure with an indication of hot engine temperature indicate the highest RPN 252 in the blocked radiator core, so routine maintenance and checking must be carried out. This shows that engine failure can be minimized by analyzing potential risks to the machine and analyzing the occurrence of component damage from a previous fault history.
