Mechanical Integrity Project
Mechanical Integrity (MI) is an effective approach for preventing accidents and maintaining productivity in the industrial field. The method involves ensuring the integrity of the functionality and technical data of mechanical and auxiliary equipment to maintain normal operation during all stages, including construction, assembly, inspection and testing, as well as maintenance and repair to prevent occupational disasters caused by irregularity or malfunctioning. The implementation of a robust MI management system is effective for improving corporate safety. In November 2020, Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant launched the MI Project and established MI Committee. The Thermal Oil System Optimization Team was first established to implement plant-wide risk identification and assessment associated with the thermal oil system; conduct testing and inspection; mitigate equipment defects. This project is also implemented in FEIS concurrently.
