How plants stay safe, reliable, and cost-effective — and how RBLX™ helps make it happen.

Why Asset Integrity Management Matters

Pipelines, pressure vessels, tanks, and exchangers are the heartbeat of oil, gas, and industrial plants. But they face constant threats: corrosion, cracking, leaks, fatigue, and more.

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is the structured process of ensuring these critical assets operate safely, efficiently, and without unplanned failures — throughout their entire lifecycle.

Whether you run a new facility or a decades-old plant, AIM is the foundation of:

• Safe operations
• Compliance with standards (API, ASME, HSE)
• Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
• Long-term asset reliability

 

What’s Included in an Integrity Program?

Effective AIM includes several interconnected systems and practices. Here’s what a typical program looks like — and how they all work together:

 

1. Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

RBI is about inspecting based on risk, not just time. It helps prioritize assets that matter most and safely extend inspection intervals for low-risk equipment.

Tools like RBLX™ follow API 580/581 and generate:

• Probability and consequence of failure
• Risk ranking
• Inspection plans tailored to each asset
• Updated intervals and inspection types

 

2. Inspection Data Management System (IDMS)

An IDMS tracks all inspection results, wall thickness readings, NDT reports, and historical data — all in one system.
In RBLX™, IDMS is integrated directly with RBI, so your inspection decisions are always based on up-to-date field data.

 

3. Corrosion Control Document (CCD)

CCD organizes your facility into corrosion loops based on fluid, material, temperature, and more.
This helps you manage corrosion risks and plan inspections smarter.

RBLX™ offers a built-in CCD module with:

• Corrosion loop builder
• Damage mechanism library (based on API 571)
• Mitigation strategies and inspection linkages

 

4. Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII)

NII allows certain inspections to be done without opening equipment — saving time, cost, and risk.

RBLX™ helps determine whether NII is suitable using guidelines from HOIS RP103, and can compare:

• IVI (Internal Visual Inspection)
• NII (UT, PAUT, MFL, etc.)
• Confidence levels for inspection outcomes

 

5. Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs)

IOWs define safe ranges for process parameters like pressure, temperature, flow, and pH.
If these go out of range, it may trigger corrosion or damage.

With RBLX™, you can:

• Monitor Tier 1–3 IOWs
• Get real-time alerts when limits are exceeded
• Recalculate risk and inspections accordingly

 

6. Pipeline Integrity Management Syatem (PIMS)

Pipelines require a specialized approach. RBLX™ includes PIMS tools to:

• Assess internal and external threats
• Model time-dependent degradation
• Recommend inspection points
• Track anomalies and wall loss
• Generate pipeline risk profiles

 

7. Damage Mechanism Review (DMR)

Every asset is exposed to certain threats — from pitting to HTHA.
RBLX™ offers a built-in API 571 DMR engine that:

• Suggests damage mechanisms based on service and materials
• Guides inspectors on what to look for
• Connects to CCD, RBI, and inspection planning

 

Why an Integrated Approach Matters

In many companies, each of these components exists — but in separate spreadsheets, folders, or tools. This slows down decision-making and increases risk.

RBLX™ unites them in one platform, helping:

• Inspection teams plan smarter
• Engineers respond faster
• Managers see risk clearly
• Companies cut maintenance costs without cutting safety

 

Real Benefits of an AIM System like RBLX™

Impact Area	Result
Safety	Early detection of threats
Cost	20–40% savings on inspections
Compliance	API 580/581/571 alignment
Efficiency	Less duplication & rework
Reliability	Extended asset life
