From a solution provider company attending the Top Link Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for Oil & Gas, Power and Petrochemical, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia March 4-7, Ronald Frend highlights what is the best practices of Risk Based-Inspection (RBI) methods for pipelines, piping, vessels and tanks in refineries, gas, oil and petrochemical facilities.

January 17, Kuala Lumpur- (PressReleasePoint)- Risk assessment techniques and risk based methods have been used in some form in various industries for many years. However, methods which use formalized techniques to make decisions based on qualitative or quantitative risk calculations are fairly new. The main objective of this effort was to develop and test new technologies to replace traditional inspection program development methods used by code and standards organizations. This effort resulted in the development of a generalized risk-based inspection program development methodology. A number of subsequent publications applied this methodology to the development of inspection programs in the fossil fuel, nuclear, petroleum, chemical and other industries. This technology has been adopted by ASME and other standard bodies in the development of risk based inspection standards, such as the Nuclear Code Cases N-577 and N-578 of the ASME Section XI Nuclear Inspection Code which contain risk based inspection requirement of piping, the API 579 Recommended Practice for Fitness for Service, the API RP 580 Recommended Practice of Risk Based Inspection, and the API RP 581 Base Resource Document.

What benefits can Engineers gain from this workshop?
Through the workshop, engineers can apply the latest technique in Risk Based-Inspection (RBI) and identify the various repair practices of pipelines, piping vessels and tanks in refineries, gas, oil and petrochemical plants.  Delegates can practice the analysis of defects and degradation of equipment, piping and pipelines. Delegates also can predict degradation in services and set optimum inspection intervals (API-580/581).

What are the methodologies of the workshop? 
This interactive training seminar includes the following training methodologies as a percentage of the total tuition hours: 65% lectures, 25% workshops & work presentations and 10% exercise. Case study and exercise include overview of deterioration mechanisms and failures modes, illustrative examples or risk assessment, worked examples exercises to demonstrate the step-by-step calculation of risk, discussion of risk determination and inspection planning for pressure vessels, piping and pressure relief devices, aboveground storage tanks and heat exchange bundles.Using P& ID & Piping / Tank & Vessel Drawing to establish likely damage mechanisms and monitoring points.
