2023 RETA Breeze Jan-Feb

(RAGAGEP) for inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) of closed circuit ammonia refrigeration systems. Eventually, a lack of maintenance will lead to ammonia leaks from the coils, which puts your employees, and the public, in danger, and invites close regulatory scrutiny. In order to minimize the chances of an ammonia release due to a lack of maintenance, review your Mechanical

Integrity (MI) program, including any recurring ammonia system work orders. These work orders may be paper or electronic forms, or they may be programmed into a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Update them to align with the requirements found in IIAR6. In addition, since the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) may require tasks to be done that are not included in IIAR6, or it may require that certain tasks be conducted more

frequently than IIAR6 requires, be sure that your MI program aligns with the OEM’s recommended ITM tasks as well. If you have photos of an Epic Fail please pass them on to nh3isB2L@gmail.com.
