COMMENTS The criteria used to categorize findings in this report are based on the potential effect that a failure will have on operations and production. CRITICAL- Failure of this component will have a significant impact on production, require costly repairs and/or represents a potential personnel hazard. SEVERE- Failure is not expected to go beyond the component listed and should have minimal impact on operations and production; repair costs could be significant. ALERT-Failure is of a routine nature and repairs can be made easily and at a reasonable cost. Cost is, more often than not, limited to labor and a few minor parts. Infrared ther mographic surveys are non -contact, no n-destructive examinations used to find abnormal or unexpected thermal patterns or temperature differentials. These thermal patterns may indicate such conditions as loose con nections, overloaded circuits or phases, dete riorated or damag ed insulation or refractory, or excessive or unwanted friction, among others. To perform the thermographic s urvey of y our faci lity, HSB The rmography Services us ed the FLIR Thermacam infra red im aging sy stem. Thi s system utilizes the latest de velopments in unc ooled technology to generate the most accurate data available. The cal ibration for this sy stem is certi fied t raceable to The Nat ional Ins titute of Standards and Technology, N IST, USA and the Swedish N ational Testing and Research Institute, S P. This calibration is based on the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90). The Findings of this survey are in the following pages. These conditions warrant your attention.

Recommendation/Comments:
Contact the local utility to investigate and repair the fuse connection. The actual temperature of the connection is higher than what was measured due to the cold and windy conditions during the inspection. *Failure of this fuse would result in a forced outage for half of the plants production and could possibly damage some three phase equipment.

Recommendation/Comments:
The starter is visibly damaged due to the extreme temperature and is no longer repairable. Mr. Johnson (Maintenance Manager) immediately contacted the manufacturer to have a replacement starter delivered the next day. *This is rated as CRITICAL due to the high temperature and because the location only has a 150 HP compressor as a backup. The 150 HP cannot supply enough air to operate the plant.
