Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course presents a comprehensive and practical introduction and application of the latest techniques in RiskBased Inspection (RBI) planning, and Fitness-For-Service (FFS) analysis of inspection results. It discusses practical techniques for the analysis of equipment, piping and pipelines defects and degradation. The focus of the course is on predicting degradation in service, setting optimum inspection intervals (API 580-581), projecting remaining life based on generic data corrected for plant specific conditions, and applying quantitative analysis for degraded conditions to determine whether equipment is fit for continued service or should be repaired or replaced (API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, ASME B31G, etc.). The course includes a discussion on identification of API RP 571 damage mechanisms, risk management, and risk mitigation strategies. Requirements for input data and information, and the roles of the RBI Assessment Team will be described. Approaches to levels of RBI assessment and basis for implementation will be examined.The exercise will give Delegates the opportunity to key elements for implementation of an RBI system to a process facility. The course presenters are independent of any commercial organization and the Course Notes are applicable to all commercially available systems.
