Abstract
This paper examines and compares the maintenance techniques met in refineries; it focus in the preventive maintenance methods and their statistics and technology. The comparison is extended to electronic/mechanical components - systems met in chemical and general production plants. Interaction of maintenance to other production phases is discussed. Maintenance has a strategic role inside a company due to safety, productivity and economic demands of their increasingly antagonistic environment. Cost analysis and efficient operation of the installed machinery is a must. The rapid recognition of developing problems and health monitoring during the operation should be a common practice of a modern factory.
