Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is used in a wide range of industries to help assess the probability of failure and manage the risk of failure.
Any business associated with the oil & gas, petrochemical, or other such process industry will have faced increased pressure to minimise risks and improve safety at the plant.
Asset Integrity Management helps avoid unplanned downtime in the oil and gas industry – it encompasses the complete lifecycle of an asset, right from design to decommissioning.
Often companies are lookingfor a cost-effective asset integrity model.Yet they also need to be robust. Thiswillassist the transition into more optimised maintenance, operational management. Also, there is a need to be a configurable system that can be adapted using internationally accepted codes and standards to meet asset performance goals.
LifeTech Engineering is well aware that the current economic climate is challenging. That is probably an understatement, but we like to be optimistic! However, we also understand how important it is for companies to make every aspect of their asset management work effectively. Every pound now counts for more than it ever did. That’s why using consultants can work so well especially when managing risk, reducing costs and generally improving plant efficiency and productivity.
Deadlegs can be defined as locations in piping circuits containing idle, stagnant or intermittently flowing fluids. Corrosion in deadlegs represents a significant threat to the integrity of hydrocarbon production facilities.Deadlegs include components of piping that normally have no significant flow. If a piping circuitcontains a deadleg, then the likelihood of thinning activity at this location will be higher and accordingly, the risk of failure for that specific piping circuit will be increased.
