Results are presented from the development and use of an engineering method of diagnosing equipment problems in a dry-type adsorption unit used to clean gases formed by smelting baths at an aluminum plant. An analysis is made of the causes of the problems and the probability of failure of components of the unit. It is shown that it is impossible for all the components to fail simultaneously.
