Reliability Services

After over 200 years of helping our customers succeed, we’ve learned some of the quickest, most efficient ways to help our customers improve plant reliability and as a result - reduce costs. That’s how we came up with our standardized reliability services offering: a set of packaged solutions that help improve the reliability of a plant’s rotating equipment.

Our reliability experts quickly assess the current condition of your equipment, as well as help you benchmark your reliability program and maintenance practices. Then, we can help you identify any gaps, implement gap closure plans, and train your personnel in the latest methods and techniques to help these improvements last.

Our condition-based monitoring methodology is founded on reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) fundamentals, and is managed by experienced reliability and rotating equipment engineers.

Reliability Services can help you:

• Improve safety: By ensuring that industry best practices are in place, plants adopt a “Safety First” approach designed to prevent accidents and protect the safety and health of employees, customers, the public and the environment.
• Improve efficiency of operations: By evaluating the condition and performance of rotating equipment and establishing clearly defined operational procedures, plant equipment runs at its best efficiency point (BEP) and contributes to overall efficiency.
• Reduce downtime and improve reliability: By ensuring that proper PM/PdM practices are in place, plant equipment availability is improved, which in turn leads to increased productivity and profitability.
• Lower cost of ownership: By improving equipment reliability, maintenance costs decrease, and equipment lifespan increases, resulting in a reduced total cost of ownership.

As your reliability partner, Flowserve will help you by quickly developing a comprehensive recommendation plan and execution strategy to help you achieve sustainable reliability and optimal plant performance levels.
