CRISTHIAN, Ronceros,  y  RAMON, Pomblas,. Operational Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Model for a Gas Compression Plant. Rev Politéc. (Quito) [online]. 2023, vol.51, n.1, pp.117-129. ISSN 2477-8990.  https://doi.org/10.33333/rp.vol51n1.10.

The purpose of this research was the development of a reliability, availability and operational maintainability model that allowed the calculation of availability and reliability estimates of equipment and systems belonging to the Jusepin 12 compression plant of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), Maturin Gas Compression, located in the Jusepin Complex of PDVSA. The study consisted of a field investigation, descriptive, and non-experimental of type feasible project. For the development of the model, tools based on Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) Analysis were used. For the easy fault history management, the XAMPP (MySQL, PHP, APACHE) software was used for the database development, and Crystal Ball and Raptor software were used for designing and simulation of the model. The result was a model that allowed the availability calculations and reliability projections for the plant, by generating a preestablished number of scenarios and performing sensitivity analyses, that determined the impact of each system component on the availability factors, all this as a requirement for the development of predictive maintenance plans.
