Building Reliability in Pulp and Paper Mills: Mechanical Integrity of Fixed Equipment
Co-sponsored by the Project Management/Project Engineering Committee and the Young Professionals Division, this four-part series delivers a practical, integrated approach to improving safety, reliability, and performance in pulp and paper mills. The sessions progress from effective capital project execution, to maintaining mechanical integrity of fixed equipment, to applying Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles, and conclude with a panel discussion that connects these disciplines into a unified reliability program. Together, the series equips attendees with actionable strategies to enhance asset availability, mitigate risk, and optimize lifecycle costs. Mechanical integrity ensures that fixed equipment—such as tanks, pressure vessels, and boilers—is designed, operated, and maintained to contain process materials and prevent releases safely. This session examines corrosion as the primary damage mechanism influencing material selection in pulp and paper mills, highlighting common materials and situations where stainless steel limitations are exceeded. Attendees will learn about inspection methods, fitness-for-service evaluations, and both short- and long-term repair strategies to support safe and reliable operations.
