• This process does not apply to replacement in kind.
• A replacement that satisfies the original design specifications.
• Replacing the transmitter with a transmitter meeting the design specifications, Replacement of carbamate condenser with
same specifications, Replacement of E-510 tube bundle with exact specifications,
• Replacing an electric motor with of exact specifications etc.
Everyone can view MOC status- initiated, pending, approved, and rejected through MOC Yara Power BI Report - Power BI
