Work an FMEA on CO2 compression
Apply FMEA thinking to a CO2 compression and dehydration train.
A CO2 compression and dehydration train must enter commercial service, but commissioning trips have exposed weak risk visibility. FMEA: function -> failure mode -> effect -> severity/detection -> action The common trap is fixing the last trip and assuming the system risk has been handled. Function Define the function: compress and condition captured CO2 to transport specification at the required flow. FMEA starts with function because a failure mode is a loss or degradation of function. Failure mode Name credible failures: dehydration breakthrough, seal-gas instability, high discharge temperature, vibration trip, and off-spec oxygen ingress. Use operational knowledge and commissioning evidence…
