Reliability of a chemical process system: A simulation approach

Published: 01 January 1974 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a general approach to estimation of the reliability of a chemical production system using discrete system simulation. Three factors which are considered to be of major importance in the reliability of a chemical system are design (e.g. serial or parallel units), the failure patterns of the individual units, and the maintenance policies and staffing. A GPSS simulation model which takes into account all three factors has been developed and is illustrated by use of an example.
