Ageing Management & Residual Life Assessment of Heavy Water Plants

Ageing management is a very exhaustive tool, which not only reduces operating & maintenance cost and plant depreciation but also increases the plant utilisation, and improves reliability of its the structures and components. This has an over all affect on profit, regulatory compliance, environment and safety. On the other hand, extended operating life of an existing plant reduces initial as well as life-cycle cost while maintaining equipment old plants and components and extending the plant life reliability. This also helps in reducing failure rate. By adopting the methodologies of Ageing Management and Residual Life Assessment, HWPs has achieved excellence in producing Heavy Water while winning various awards of excellence in the field of safety and environment. It has further pave the way for reviving old plants and components and extending the plant life.
