Restarting your compressed air equipment
What To Do
Where possible and only when equipment is isolated from all power sources, check free rotation by hand
Restore power to the equipment following LOTO procedures
Remove all isolations that have been placed and close manual condensate drains
Make sure that all auxiliary equipment such as water pumps are running and all auxiliary supplies are restored (e.g. instrument air)
Follow all start-up guidelines as detailed in the O&M / User manual
Check all temperatures and pressures
Make sure that any overdue maintenance is performed as soon as possible to prevent unscheduled outages & to maintain any warranties
What Not To Do
Do not try to start equipment which has been isolated
Do not start any equipment without first ensuring all auxiliary supplies (water, instrument air, etc.) have been safely restored
Do not rely on non-return valves to isolate from any pressurized systems
